❖
That’s a lot of new particles and decay modes we can potentially discover
❖
Couplings are fixed by the symmetry with SM
❖
Masses are unknown, until we figure out how the symmetry is broken Mixing of winos, binos, zinos, higgsinos
predicted and natural
mass required to be light by naturalness.

❖ High cross section => probing high masses ❖ R-parity conservation => lightest particle (LSP) stable, missing momentum ❖ High pT jets
❖ Each curve is a different
model, combining limits from relevant channels
❖ All curve but yellow have
neutralino LSP (mass on y- axis)
❖ For light LSP, limits in
1800-2250 GeV
❖ For small g-LSP mass
difference, mass down to 1000-1200 GeV allowed

❖ The simplest model has a stop
decaying directly to top LSP (blue curve)
❖ If charginos and heavy
neutralinos are in the decay chain, more complex final states
❖ Typical limits range from 400
GeV (small mass difference) to 1000 GeV (light LSP)
❖ Here focus on some recent
results

❖ Direct decay to LSP, but mass difference not enough

❖ Determine unknowns (like pzmiss) with

❖ Provides 4-vector of each particle in the

❖ pT(I) replaced by ETMISS, ISR replaced
