Cross sections

Individual cross sections (vs mass) are ”easy” as the quantum numbers of sparticles are well-defined; total cross section depends on mass spectrum

background
Because the masses and even the mass hierarchies (and the mixings for the gauginos) are unknown, because the SUSY breaking mechanism is unknown, the signature is not well defined • jets plus MET• leptons plus jets plus MET?• dileptons plus jets plus MET?• same sign dileptons?• Taus? b’s? tops? -> jets + MET + something….• exotica like HSCP, track stubs, photons + MET, etc

MET in SUSY events
2 Apr 2009 "Shedding Light on Dark Matter", U. MD. 6
• LSP (usually neutralino) does not interaction in the detector -> apparent momentum imbalance in event • LSP usually produced at the end of a long decay chain. • lots of energy goes down beam pipe -> can not use momentum conservation in direction parallel to beam axis to infer z component of neutralino momentum• (two chains -> two neutralinos -> can be some cancellation in MET (two not always better than 1).
No matter what*, the dark matter candidate shows up as MET, and there will be MET in every SUSY event. (*ignoring RPV susy)

SUSY models
June, 2009
Unconstrained MSSM is the most “economic” version of SUSY Minimal gauge group SU(3)CxSU(2)LxU(1)Y Minimal particle content; tree generation of spin ½ quarks and leptons [no right handed neutrino] as in SM; The two Higgs doublets leads to five Higgs particles : two CP even h, H bosons, a pseudoscalar A boson and two charged H+/- bosonsR parity conservation: Rp = (-1)2S+3B+L
Minimal set of soft SUSY-breaking termsUnconstrained MSSM has 124 free parameters (104 from SUSY breaking terms + 19 parameters of the SM)
Constrained MSSM (or phenomenological MSSM) reduces number of free parameters to 22
all the soft SUSY-breaking parameters are real => no new source of CP-violation in addition to the one from CKM matrixno FCNC at tree levelthe soft SUSY-breaking masses and trilinear couplings of the 1st and 2nd sfermion generations are the same at low energy
To go beyond this kind of generic discussion, need to introduce models.
May not be right, but like those practice problems in the back of the book, is very useful to get us trained.

mSUGRA
June, 2009
• Thus, the idea is the following:• The many (>100) parameters of weak-scale SUSY should be
derived from a minimal set of parameters at the unification scale.• mSUGRA: the “canonical” model
• 5 main parameters • mo , m1/2 , Ao , tan(b), and sign(m)
• mo , m1/2 are universal scalar and fermion masses• Like the couplings, one assumes that the spectra of
fundamental particles derives from fundamental masses• m3/2 is a 6th free parameter
• Gravitino - could be LSP but in most of the literature it is assumed to be very heavy and ignored.

Data-based Backgrounds
June, 2009
Since we can not use “signal agrees with expectations” to help us with our discovery, we need to have great faith in our background subtraction. While QCD calculations have made great improvements, and while these detectors are the best every built, and will probably be the best understood ever at startup, real confidence can only come with data-based background subtractions.
Even so, there is a real danger of getting caught by a statistical fluctuation. It is impossible, to my mind, to do a blind search for SUSY.

Mass Reconstruction
2 Apr 2009 "Shedding Light on Dark Matter", U. MD. 42
Theorists, ATLAS and CMS have done work on deconstructing the particle spectrums (pioneering work by ATLAS)
Di-lepton edges gives mass of slepton.
Strategy is to make mass of all possible combinations of final state particles and let observed min and max values constrain intermediate masses• but need to isolate this decay chain from particles from decay of the other squark (gluino) in the event• and events containing this decay chain from events with other decay chains and other initial states.

mass
June, 2009Tommaso Lari 43January 5th-9th, 2009
With two undetected particles with unknown mass in the final state it is not possible to reconstruct mass peaks
The typical approach is to look for minima (thresholds) and maxima (edges) of visible invariant mass products
2 two-body decays: the invariant mass of p,q (massless SM particles) has a maximum at and a triangular shape if the spin of particle b is zero.
3 successive two-body decays• Four invariant mass combinations of the three visible particles: (12), (13), (23), (123)• For the first three minimum is zero: only one constraint. The last has both non-trivial minimum and maximum: five constraints in total on four unknown masses.
If sufficiently long decay chains can be isolated and enough endpoints measured, then the masses of the individual particles can be obtained

From these edges it is possible to derive the masses of particles in the decay and place limits on parameters of constrained models. Large statistical errors with 1 fb-1. Mass differences better measured than absolute masses.

Higgs Searches
June, 2009
This is where our experience in the top search can guide us well.• It will take a while (low cross section * BR)• will need to combine channels to get fastest result• properties well-predicted by SM.• As with the top, we already have reasonable constraints on the mass.

Higgs + New Physics

In the SM, the relationship between the Higgs mass and EWK observables is one way.
New physics can alter. For example, in SUSY,

Higgs Production at the LHC
