Some Thoughts and Pleas from the SCIPP (UC Santa Cruz) Group US ATLAS e Forum Meeting June 27 2008 Bruce Schumm, UCSC/SCIPP, for Alan Litke, Jason Nielsen (faculty) Jovan Mitrevksi (Postdoc), Gabe Hare (Student)
Conversions of Non-Pointing Photons from GMSB Typical GMSB signatures: Neutralino/Stau decay length depends on coupling to gravitino…
Gauge-Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking Scenarios with in-flight decay not disfavored by cosmological constraints For a reasonable range of, e.g., gravitino mass, signature would be kinked track (possible with change in rate of ionization loss
For neutralino channel, signature is non-pointing photons and their converions. • SCIPP: Explore conversion reconstruction for non-prompt, non-pointing photons. • Pushes capabilities of TRTSeeded tracking • Dataset identified that has non-prompt (confirmed by Stephen Swedish, U. Alberta): • misal1_mc12.005411.GMSB2_jimmy_susy.digit.RDO.v12000502_tid005449 • Have reconstructed sample in 14.1.0 • Hoped to make plots from InDetRecStat ntuple, but realized no neutrals retained • Need to learn to use AODs etc. (next step)
Others Jovan Mitrevski: Considering constributing to reconstruction of non-converting non-pointing photons (calibration issues) Alan Litke: Literature review; also deciding where to fit in. All in all, pretty vague, but hope to change that soon!
