Introduction Hierarchy problem: In the SM, Higgs mass receives quadratically divergent corrections, most importantly from the top quark In SUSY, top contribution cancelled by stop ˜ t L,R t ( a ) h h ( b ) y t y t y 2 t h h This relies on both particle content and coupling relations. We want to test the coupling relations. Cornell University David Curtin SUSY-Yukawa Sum Rule at the LHC 1 / 12

We want to test this sum rule at a collider! Cornell University David Curtin SUSY-Yukawa Sum Rule at the LHC 3 / 12

In a generic theory, only ‘requirement’ is | Υ | < ∼ 16 π . Radiative Corrections wash out SUSY tree-level prediction for Υ . Worst case scenario ( SuSpect ) → Can narrow predicted range with more measurements (see later). Cornell University David Curtin SUSY-Yukawa Sum Rule at the LHC 5 / 12

Gluino Pair Production: M T 2 -subsystem Edges The distributions of M T 2 subsystem variables 5 also have edges we can measure. Look at M 210 T 2 ( 0 ) . Combinatorial Background is more dangerous. - To calculate M 210 T 2 , have to divide 4 b into an upstream and downstream pair: 6 possibilities. - The M T 2 -distribution for wrong pairings is more featured than M bb .
