Supersymmetric Dark Matter or Not
  The lack of evidence for low energy supersymmetry at the LHC implies a
supersymmetry scale in excess a TeV. While this is consistent (and even
helpful) with a Higgs boson mass at $\approx$ 125 GeV, simple supersymmetric
models with scalar and gaugino mass universality are being pushed into strips
of parameter space. These often require coannihilations to obtain an acceptable
relic density and the extent of these coannihilation strips will be discussed.
In contrast, non-supersymmetric grand unified theories such as SO(10) may also
provide a dark matter candidate. Because of the presence of an intermediate
scale, these theories may unify gauge couplings, provide for neutrino masses
and a suitably long lived proton.
