  1. Snapshot of Photon + MET Trigger Studies Bruce Schumm, SCIPP/UCSC SUSY-EtMiss Subgroup Meeting 24 November 2010

  2. Significant Transition: MGM to GGM • Tevatron analysis based on “Snowmass Points and Slopes” trajectory that is essentially Minimal Gauge Mediation (MGM) • MGM ties strong (gluino) and EW (neutralino) partner scales together, and leads to very massive gluino • Tevatron analyses exploited weak production (lot of data at low energy); sets limits on neutralino mass MGM not particularly well motivated  look at Generalized Gauge Mediation (GGM) which decouples strong, EW scales Re-cast in terms of limits in Mg-M plane for each of three possible neutralino species: Bino-, Wino-, Higgsino-like

  3. Bino-Like Neutralino Grid Desecrated plot thanks to Shih/Ruderman, ArXiv 0911.4130 D0 Limit For Bino-like neutralino, two photons + MET is most promising but lose coverage if hadronic activity is required (jets, HT, etc.) No visible jet activity when Mg ~ M

  4. pT of photons M bino = 200 GeV M gluino=400–700GeV (=6–0.07 pb) M bino = 150 – 580 GeV M gluino = 600GeV ( = 0.26pb ) Photon pT can be soft for M small • BR changes vs. M bino: • 90% (M bino = 150GeV) • 65% (M bino = 580GeV) • pT of photons! • BR doesn’t change ~ 80% • pT of photons ~ similar

  5. Wino - like Neutralino: |M2|<< and |M2| < |M1| Production cross-section (7TeV) Natural for photon+lepton channel Not shown: Higgsino, which has no photonic decay TRIGGERS?

  6. Back to Bino-like case… Summary for grid points we have generated so far. Results are out of 1000 events Some inefficiency for M = Mg – 30 (haven’t yet explored) What about ET dependence?

  7. Close to 2g20_loose would be close to knee (remember that current limit is below this, at 150 GeV)

  8. Tentative Conclusions for Bino-Like Case • We are probably OK for 2g20_loose, and perhaps even 2g25_loose (need to run through M = 150 case) • Tight electron trigger 90% efficient  For e control sample (background estimation), • gXX_loose  eXX_tight • where XX is value of 2g trigger above, should be fine. • What about a quick peek at non-pointing photons?

  9. GMSB2 sample: c ~ 10s of cm What about non-photon triggers? Looking into it…

  10. Summary and Conclusions • Pending a look at M = 150 GeV, proposed 2011 triggers seem workable for Bino case • Other cases (Wino, Higgsino) being looked into • Non-pointing photons don’t seem to be captured with photon triggers; what about others? Looking into that also.

  11. Sorry – that’s all folks…
