Title: Searching for the Higgsino-Bino sector at the LHC

Abstract

We study the search for electroweakinos at the 13 TeV LHC in the case of heavy scalar superpartners. We consider both the direct production mode and the one associated with the decay of heavy Higgs bosons, and concentrate on the case of light Higgsinos and Binos. In this case, the direct production searches becomes more challenging than in the light Wino scenario. In the direct production mode, we use the current experimental searches to set the reach for these particles at larger luminosities, and we emphasize the relevance of considering both the neutral gauge boson and the neutral Higgs decay modes of the second and third lightest neutralino. We show the complementarity of these searches with the ones induced by the decay of the heavy Higgs bosons, which are dominated by the associated production of the lightest neutralino with the second and third lightest ones, with the latter decaying into gauge bosons. We show that, depending on the value of tan β, the Higgs boson decay channel remains competitive with the direct production channel up to heavy Higgs boson masses of about 1 TeV. Moreover, this search is not limited by the same kinematic considerations as the ones in themore »« less

Natural SUSY with a bino- or wino-like LSP

Journal Article Baer, Howard ; Barger, Vernon ; Huang, Peisi ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology

In natural SUSY models higgsinos are always light because μ ² cannot be much larger than M$$2\atop{Z}$$, while squarks and gluinos may be very heavy. Unless gluinos are discovered at LHC13, the commonly assumed unification of gaugino mass parameters will imply correspondingly heavy winos and binos, resulting in a higgsino-like LSP and small inter-higgsino mass splittings. The small visible energy release in higgsino decays makes their pair production difficult to detect at the LHC. Relaxing gaugino mass universality allows for relatively light winos and binos without violating LHC gluino mass bounds and without affecting naturalness. In the case where themore »« less

Search for new physics in electron-tau final states in proton - antiproton collisions at 1.96 TeV

Thesis/Dissertation Noeding, Carsten

During the last decades, particle physicists have studied the tiniest building blocks of matter--the quarks and the leptons--and the forces between them in great detail. From these experiments, a theoretical framework has been built that describes the observed results with high precision. The achievement of this theory, which is referred to as the Standard Model of elementary particle physics, was the elaboration of a unified description of the strong, weak and electromagnetic forces in the framework of quantum gauge-field theories. Moreover, the Standard Model combines the weak and electromagnetic forces in a single electroweak gauge theory. The fourth force whichmore »« less

Neutralino dark matter in the left-right supersymmetric model

Journal Article Demir, Durmus A ; Frank, Mariana ; Turan, Ismail - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We study the neutralino sector of the left-right supersymmetric model. In addition to the possibilities available in the minimal supersymmetric model, the neutralino states can be superpartners of the U(1){sub B-L} gauge boson, the neutral SU(2){sub R} gauge boson, or of the Higgs triplets. We analyze neutralino masses and determine the parameter regions for which the lightest neutralino can be one of the new pure states. We then calculate the relic density of the dark matter for each of these states and impose the constraints coming from the {rho} parameter, the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, b{yields}s{gamma}, as wellmore »« less

Higgs and Z assisted stop searches at hadron colliders

Journal Article Su, Shufang ; Zhang, Huanian - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

Current searches for the light top squark (stop) mostly focus on the decay channels of $ \tilde{t}\to t{\chi}_1^0 $ or $ \tilde{t}\to b{\chi}_1^{\pm}\to bW{\chi}_1^0 $ , leading to Open image in new window final states for stop pair productions at the LHC. However, in supersymmetric scenarios with light neutralinos and charginos other than the neutralino lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP), more than one decay mode of the stop could be dominant. While those new decay modes could significantly weaken the current stop search limits at the LHC, they also offer alternative discovery channels for stop searches. In this paper, we studiedmore »« less

Search for supersymmetry using Higgs boson to diphoton decays at $$\sqrt{s}$$ = 13 TeV

Journal Article Sirunyan, A. M. ; Tumasyan, A. ; Adam, W. ; ... - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

A search for supersymmetry (SUSY) is presented where at least one Higgs boson is produced and decays to two photons in the decay chains of pair-produced SUSY particles. Two analysis strategies are pursued: one focused on strong SUSY production and the other focused on electroweak SUSY production. The presence of charged leptons, additional Higgs boson candidates, and various kinematic variables are used to categorize events into search regions that are sensitive to different SUSY scenarios. The results are based on data from proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected by the CMSmore »« less
