  2. Discovery Time… We are about to enter into an era of major discovery Dark Matter: we need new particles to explain the content of the universe Standard Model: we need new physics Supersymmetry solves both problems! The super-partners are distributed around the weak scale Our best chance to observe SUSY is at the LHC LHC: The experiment which directly probes TeV scale Future results from Planck, direct and indirect detection in tandem with the LHC will confirm a model 2 Precision Cosmology at the LHC

  3. SUSY at the LHC High PT jet [mass difference is large] DM The pT of jets and leptons depend on the sparticle masses which are given by models Colored particles get produced and decay into weakly interacting stable particles DM R-parity conserving (or l+l-, t+t-) High PT jet The signal : jets + leptons + missing ET 3 Precision Cosmology at the LHC

  4. Excess in ETmiss + Jets The heavy SUSY particle mass is measured by combining the final state particles q q q q • Excess in ETmiss + Jets  R-parity conserving SUSY • Meff Measurement of the SUSY scale at 10-20%. Hinchliffe and Paige, Phys. Rev. D 55 (1997) 5520 • ETj1>100 GeV, ETj2,3,4> 50 GeV • Meff > 400 GeV (Meff ETj1+ETj2+ETj3+ETj4+ ETmiss) • ETmiss > max [100, 0.2 Meff] Precision Cosmology at the LHC 4

  5. Relic Density and Meff SUSY scale can be measured with an accuracy of 10-20% • This measurement does not tell us whether the model can generate the right amount of dark matter • The dark matter content is measured to be 23% with an accuracy less than 4% at WMAP • Question: To what accuracy can we calculate the relic density based on the measurements at the LHC? Precision Cosmology at the LHC 5

  6. Measurement of Masses If we observe missing energy, then we have a possible dark matter candidate . We want to make sure that we have the correct model to explain the dark matter content We need to measure the masses of the particles. Model parameters need to be determined to check the cosmological status. [Allanach, Belanger, Boudjema and Pukhov’04] Goal: Using the model parameters we calculate relic density and compare with WMAP, PLANCK data 6 Precision Cosmology at the LHC

  7. Anatomy of sann + …. Co-annihilation (CA) Process Griest, Seckel ’91 + + …. A near degeneracy occurs naturally for light stau in mSUGRA. Precision Cosmology at the LHC 7

  8. Coannihilation, GUT Scale In mSUGRA model the lightest stau seems to be naturally close to the lightest neutralino mass especially for large tanb For example, the lightest selectron mass is related to the lightest neutralino mass in terms of GUT scale parameters: Thus for m0 = 0, becomes degenerate with at m1/2 = 370 GeV, i.e. the coannihilation region begins at Arnowitt, Dutta, Santoso’ 01 m1/2 = (370-400) GeV For larger m1/2 the degeneracy is maintained by increasing m0 and we get a corridor in the m0 - m1/2 plane. The coannihilation channel occurs in most SUGRA models with non-universal soft breaking, 8 Precision Cosmology at the LHC

  9. DM Allowed Regions in mSUGRA Below is the case of mSUGRA model. However, the results can be generalized. [Focus point region] the lightest neutralino has a larger Higgsino component [A-annihilation funnel region] This appears for large values of m1/2 [Stau-Neutralino CA region] [Bulk region] is almost ruled out Precision Cosmology at the LHC

  10. CA Region at tanb = 40 Can we measure DM at colliders? Precision Cosmology at the LHC

  11. Goal for CA-analysis • Establish the “dark matter allowed region” signal • Measure SUSY masses • Determine mSUGRA parameters • Predict Wch2 and compare with WCDMh2 Precision Cosmology at the LHC

  22. Determination of tanb • One way is to determine stop and sbottom masses and then solve for A0 and tanb E.g., stop mass matrix: Problem: Stop creates a background for sbottom and … • Instead, we use observables involving third generation sparticles:Meff(b) [the leading jet is a b-jet] • We can determine tanb and A0 with good accuracy This procedure can be applied to different SUGRA models • Determination of tanb is a real problem Measuring Relic Density at the LHC 22
