  1. Generalized MT2 for mass determinations in decay chains with missing PT at LHC Myeonghun Park University of Florida In collaboration with M.Burns, K.C.Kong, K.Matchev: Based on : JHEP 0903.143,2009 PHENO 09 : Myeonghun Park

  2. Contents • Definition of MT2 • Subsystem MT2 • Detail structure of Subsystem MT2 • Application of Subsystem MT2 • Summary PHENO 09 : Myeonghun Park

  3. Expected signals at LHC • We want to have MET (missing transverse Energy) signals from LHC : Pair production and ends up with stable BSM particles like R-parity from SUSY Thus information we have is 1. The visible sector from each decay chain 2. The amount of MET PHENO 09 : Myeonghun Park

  4. Spectrum Measurements • If we can reconstruct the production particles, then like as Z - particle mass measurement: • If we can’t reconstruct the particles from resonance, then Using the invariant mass of two visible particles : f Z e F W n PHENO 09 : Myeonghun Park

  5. Using the transverse information • A pair of semi-invisibly decaying particles • If and are obtainable : • But since we don’t get them, at most we can do : • Also , since we don’t know the LSP(or Missing particles)’ mass, we need to guess LSP’s mass to formulate each e W Lester,Summers 99 Barr,Lester,Stephens 03 n The Best thing that we have : MET constraint n W m PHENO 09 : Myeonghun Park

  6. Using the transverse information UTM(ISR) MT2 is a function of test mass. And MT2(True LSP) give the True “Mother particle” s mass. Since, true mass doesn’t depend on PT boost, MT2(true LSP) is independent ofISR(PT), but the false endpoints shift todifferent values. (actually become large) Burns, Kc Kong, Matchev, M Park : JHEP 0903.143,2009 PHENO 09 : Myeonghun Park

  7. Analytical behavior of MT2 variable Burns, Kc Kong, Matchev, M Park : JHEP 0903.143,2009 UTM(From G, or ISR) M(x1,···, x2) FR FL M(x1,···, x2) FL= MT2 when M(x1,x2) = 0 & FR= MT2 when M(x1,x2) = M & @ Back to Back boosted frame(BB) so that each mother particle is at rest at that frame M is the mass s.t LSP can have smallest momentum in BB frame PHENO 09 : Myeonghun Park

  8. MT2 with Controlled PT boost Burns, Kc Kong, Matchev, M Park : JHEP 0903.143,2009 • If PT boost is controlled by the kinematics of decay chain: Visible particles before parents particle production have information about “grand parent” and “parent” UTM (Upstream Transverse Momentum) n : The total length of decay chain p : Starting point of our MT2 analysis (Parent)c : Ending point of MT2 analysis (Child) Our consideration PHENO 09 : Myeonghun Park

  15. Summary: • For short decay channel (eg: n≤ 2), → subsystem MT2 can pin down the mass spectrums. • But also using only MT2 we can determine mass spectrum a) UTM(Upstream Transverse Momentum) from grandparents : Information of G and P particlesb) Subsystem MT2 gives us various choices to focus on specific signals : MT2(2,1,0) (example: We can use only lepton parts) PHENO 09 : Myeonghun Park
