SUSY Studies @Hadron Colliders
• MSSM and need for models e.g. SUGRA.• Limits from Tevatron. • SUSY studies at LHC:
– inclusive analysis and discovery limits.– exclusive analysis and precision measurements.– Gauge Mediated SB models– R parity violating models.– SUSY Higgs sector
• Conclusions
TT 2006 SUSY course T. Weidberg 2
SUSY Models
• MSSM: – R parity conservation LSP stable – LSP is neutral from cosmology– LSP is weakly interacting (why?)– ~ 100 free parameters! unified models eg
SUGRA, GMSB.
• R Parity violating models.
TT 2006 SUSY course T. Weidberg 3
Minimal SUper GRAvity
• SUSY breaking communicated through flavour-blind gravitational interactions.
• 5 Parameters assuming unified masses & couplings at GUT scale: – Scalars have mass m0, – gauginos and higgsinos m1/2, – trilinear terms A0, – ratio of vacuum expectation values of Higgs doublets β (yields
bilinear couplings and higgsino mass parameter μ2),– sign of the higgs mass term sign(μ).
• Non-minimal: > 100 parameters.• LSP is neutralino or sneutrino.
TT 2006 SUSY course T. Weidberg 4
How to shape our expectation?• Predictions very dependent on SUSY models
and parameters used.• Use different Monte Carlo generators (ISAJET,
SPYTHIA).• Different approximations in the generators
require careful tuning and comparison. • Slight variations can have dramatic change in
behaviour (channels open up or close).• Typically multi-dimensional parameter space,
hard to cover everything by simulation.→ Select benchmark parameter sets (e.g. ‘ATLAS
1-5’) to allow estimate of the search capacity of future experiments.

Examples of SUSY Searches at Tevatron
• Jets + Missing Et (Why missing Et?)
• Tri-leptons
TT 2006 SUSY course T. Weidberg 7
Tevatron tri-leptons• Final state:
• Leptons are e, μ.• Low SM background: ‘Golden’
SUSY channel • Cuts:
– 2e: pT > 15 GeV/c– 10 < Mee < 70– MT(e,ET)>15– Track isolation– ET > 15 GeV
• D0 Run II (42pb-1): No events observed (0.0±1.4 expected).

Squarks and Gluinos• Produced through SU(3)C couplings to q and g.• Due to subsequent decays signatures like neutralinos and
charginos, but with more jets. • Final states depend on exact decay channels, but again
typically involve ET and multiplicity of jets and/or leptons.• Cleanest: di-lepton (from chargino/neutralino decays),
especially same-sign (possible in gluino decays as gluino is Majorana particle).

SUSY @ LHC
• Discovery: jets+ Missing Et• Precision studies depend on models for SUSY
breaking.– Measure combinations of masses, reconstruct mass
differences or absolute masses.
– Branching ratios.
– Lifetimes.
– Cross-sections.

SM Background
• QCD NLO calculation gives much bigger background than Pythia.
• Why?Need to measure
SM background from data.
TT 2006 SUSY course T. Weidberg 12
Reach for SUSY signal at LHC
• Final states:– Jets and missing ET (0l).
– Missing ET and 1 lepton (1l).
– Opposite sign leptons (OS).– Same charge leptons (SS).– Three leptons (3l).
• Reach depends on tan and sign

Supersymmetric Decay Cascades• Heavier supersymmetric particles decay in cascades ending in
LSP.
– Neutralinos & charginos: Typically 2 body decays when kinematically allowed, otherwise 3 body decay ( ) through virtual gauge bosons or sleptons/squarks.
– Charginos (for example from ) can decay through
with an isolated lepton in the final state.
– Long decay chains → several high pT daughters.
– Spherical events.
– Gluino is Majorana fermion → can decay to either ℓ+ or ℓ-. Possibility to have same-charge decay chains on both sides.
• Simplest signatures for SUSY:
– Multiple jets (some of them hard) + missing ET.
– Several leptons + missing ET.

Chargino and Neutralino Production at Hadron Colliders
• Indirectly:– Result of decay chain of heavier sparticles.
• Directly:– Through EW couplings to squarks, , W, Z.
• s-channel gauge boson production• t-channel squark exchange• interference

Precision Measurements• Measurements of sparticle masses.• .
– Select bb with mbb around h mass, add hard jet in event → mbbj, depends on mq.
• – Endpoint of dilepton (same flavour) mass spectrum:
measurement of mass difference.
• Combination allows model independent way to establish sparticle masses.
• After 1y ATLAS (10 fb-1) expect:

Gauge mediated symmetry breaking (GMSB)
• Gauge interactions mediate SUSY breaking.• 6 fundamental parameters:
– Number of equivalent messenger fields N5,– scale factor for gravitino mass CGrav,– tanβ,– sign(μ),– messenger mass Mm,– Ratio of SUSY breaking scale to messenger scale Λ.
• LSP is gravitino with mass «1GeV,Unlike SUGRA
• NLSP either neutralino (small N5) or slepton (large N5).• Small tanβ: slepton masses degenerate, large tanβ: lightest
slepton.• Lifetime model-dependent (c from μm to km).

GMSB with neutralino NLSP
• Phenomenology as for SUGRA, but decay into lightest neutralino is followed by its subsequent decay yielding a photon and ET.
• – Production of pairs provides clear two- signature
(+ET).– SUSY masses can be determined from kinematics
(combine same-flavour, opposite-charge leptons → mℓℓ, then pick smaller mℓℓ, and 2 mℓ distributions give 4 endpoints to determine 3 masses.
– Decay length from Dalitz decays (2% of decays). Can be >1km for large Cgrav.

GSMB with slepton NLSP •
– Signature contains final state leptons & missing ET.
– Dilepton mass spectrum has steps given by difference of slepton and neutralino mass.
• N5>1, Cgrav = 5×103: NLSP is stau. Decay length 1km. Low velocity quasi-stable particles resemble muons: measure TOF in μ-detector. Study

R-parity violation (RPV)
• Can be broken into 3 distinct interaction terms with strengths λ, λ’ and λ”:– λ ≠ 0: Nl violation in
– λ’ ≠ 0: Nl violation in and
– λ” ≠ 0: NB violation in
• To be consistent with proton lifetime: either lepton or baryon number violated.
• Dilutes ET signature but λ and λ’ give multi-jet, multi-lepton events, which are easy to isolate.
• Strategy: completely reconstruct LSP decay.

• Neutrino-less double-beta decay
• Atomic parity violation• D0-D0 mixing• Rℓ→ had(Z0)/ ℓ(Z0)
• (→e)/( →μ)
• Br(D+→K0*μ+μ)/ Br(D+→K0*e+e)

• Br(→ )
• Heavy nucleon decay• n - n oscillations
All in remarkable agreement with SM predictions.

• • >4ℓ Signature easy to detect. • Mass of neutralino from
dilepton mass spectrum end point (LHC: σm ≈ 180MeV).
• Combining candidates at edge with events in h→bb peak allow reconstruction of (LHC: σm ≈ 5GeV).

RPV with λ’ ≠ 0•
– Fully reconstructable with dilepton signature.
• – More diffcult.
– Missing ET is less than in SUGRA.
– Rely on additional leptons from cascade decays and large jet multiplicity.

• di-gluinos produce like-sign fermions in 1/8 of time (+2j) CDF Run I: no events

Baryon number violating RPV• Most challenging, as decays like provide no
signatures like missing ET, or special lepton or quark flavour (b) tags.
• Look for dilepton signature from
• Signature: minimum 6 jets (3 jets from other neutralino) + 2 leptons, typically around 12 jets (from cascade involving squarks and gluinos).
• Then: combine triplets of jets and require two combinations/event within 20 GeV. Then combine with leptons and reconstruct decay fully.
