Multilepton Signatures at Tevatron: SUPERSYMMETRY (SUSY)

This paper explores the signatures of supersymmetry in multilepton events at Tevatron, focusing on the minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) model and R-parity violating (RPV) SUSY. It discusses the production and decay of charginos and neutralinos, and the experimental challenges in detecting these signatures.

  1. Multilepton Signatures at Tevatron Maxim Titov UNIVERSITY OF FREIBURG (ON BEHALFOFTHECDFANDDØCOLLABORATIONS) Luminosity vs Projections: 2 fb-1 2007 Aspen Winter Conference “New Physics at the Electroweak Scale and New Signals at Hadron Colliders”, January 8-14, 2007

  2. SUperSYmmetry (SUSY) • Supersymmetric extensions of the SM provide a consistent framework • for gauge unification and stabilization of EWK scale • Each SM particle gets a SUSY partner (spin differ by DS = ½) • Superpartners are heavy  SUSY must be broken • Several SUSY breaking scenario under consideration: • mSUGRA, Gauge-Mediated SB, Anomaly-Mediated SB  determines SUSY structure Typical mass spectrum of SUSY particles: (important decays are shown Strong limits on SUSY searches from LEP: M(c+) > 103.5 GeV; Mslepton > 95 GeV

  3. L L B Phenomenology R-Parity Violating (RPV) SUSY SUSY / Gauge invariance do not require R-parity conservation Define multiplicative quantum number:Rp = (-1)3B + L+ 2S(+1 for SM; -1 for SUSY partners) Superpotential of general MSSM with R-parity violation term (W = WMSSM + WRPV): WRPV = lijkLiLjEk+ l’ijkLiLjDk + l’’ijk UiUjDk 45 NEW YUKAWA COUPLINGS, ASSUME ONLY ONE COUPLING DOMINATE AT A TIME ! • Experimental signatures • @ Tevatron: • Pair productionandRPV decays of LSP • -- land l’ couplings • Resonant sparticle production: • -- l’ and l’’ couplings • R-parity is violated (RPV): • SUSY particles can be singly produced • The LSP is unstable and decays to SM • particles  no dark matter candidate • SUSY particles decay into quarks, • leptons, neutrinos •  multi-jet, multi-leptons, small ETmiss • R-parity is conserved (RPC): • SUSY particles are pair produced • Lightest SUSY particle (LSP) is • stable  dark matter candidate • The LSP (neutral, colourless) interacts • only weakly with matter •  Large ETmiss from LSP (SUSY signature)

  4. ~ c 0 Minimal SuperGravity (mSUGRA) EW scale • THE SYMMETRY BREAKING TAKES PLACE IN A • “HIDDEN SECTOR” AND IS TRANSMITTED TO • THE “VISIBLE SECTOR” BY GRAVITATION • Only FIVE parameters: • m0: common scalar (Higgs, • sleptons, squarks) mass at the GUT scale • m1/2: common gaugino (bino, • wino, gluino) mass at the GUT scale • A0: common trilinear scalar • couplings at the GUT scale • (sfermion mixing) • tan b: ratio of Higgs vacuum • expectation values • Sign(m): higgsino mass parameter • LIGHTEST SUPERSYMMETRIC PARTICLE • ( ) STABLE, if RPV IS CONSERVED GUT scale Tevatron Assume mSUGRA mass relation: m (c1+) ~ m (c20) ~ 0.8 m1/2 m (c10) ~ 0.4 m1/2
