SU4 light stop signature analysis at ATLAS
- Institute of Physics, Belgrade (Serbia and Montenegro)
A possibility to observe light stop signal above the Standard Model background was analysed for SU4 low mass SUSY model. With a production cross section of 270 pb, SU4 seems to be a promising target for SUSY searches with early ATLAS data. In order to extract a light stop signal from the decay g-tilde {yields} t-tilde{sub 1}t {yields} {chi}-tilde{sub 1}{sup {+-}}tb the final state tb invariant mass distribution was reconstructed. A kinematic endpoint was observed at a position close to the expected value for this decay chain which is 300 GeV. By establishing proper event selection criteria SM backgrounds can be suppressed to the level S/B > 4 with only 200 pb-1 of data. The analysis was performed on fully simulated ATLAS data.
