Constraints on the minimal supergravity model and prospects for SUSY particle production at future e+e- linear colliders -: art. no. 055

We perform a complete analysis of the supersymmetric particle spectrum in the Minimal Supergravity (mSUGRA) model where the soft SUSY breaking scalar masses, gaugino masses and trilinear couplings are unified at the GUT scale, so that the electroweak symmetry is broken radiatively. We show that the present constraints on the Higgs boson and superparticle masses from collider searches and precision measurements still allow for large regions of the mSUGRA parameter space where charginos, neutralinos, sleptons and top squarks as well as the heavier Higgs particles, are light enough to be produced at the next generation of e(+)e(-) linear colliders with center of mass energy around roots similar to 800 GeV, with sizeable cross sections. An important part of this parameter space remains even when we require that the density of the lightest neutralinos left over from the Big Bang, which we calculate using standard assumptions, falls in the range favored by current determinations of the Dark Matter density in the Universe. Already at a c.m. energy of 500 GeV, SUSY particles can be accessible in some parameter range, and if the energy is increased to roots similar or equal to 1.2 TeV, the e(+)e(-) will have a reach for high precision studies of SUSY particles in a range that is comparable to the discovery range of the LHC.
