单硬光子或喷流能量缺失事件中LHC处的光停

Light Stop Searches at the LHC in Events with One Hard Photon or Jet and Missing Energy

M. Carena, A. Freitas, C. E. M. Wagner

摘要:

低能超对称模型提供了一个层次问题的解决方案,也有必要的成分来解决宇宙学中两个最突出的问题:重子不对称性的起源和暗物质的来源。在MSSM中,弱标度的重子不对称性可以在光阻的存在下实现,质量低于约130 GeV。此外,在停止-中性伴子共湮灭区,停止-中性伴子质量差小于几十GeV,可以获得适当的暗物质密度。在Tevatron和大型强子对撞机(LHC)的对产生过程中,标量顶夸克(停止)的计算在这个参数区域变得非常具有挑战性。然而,在大型强子对撞机上,如果胶子质量小于900 GeV,那么由胶子对衰变产生的光阻就可以被识别出来。在这篇文章中,我们提出了一种替代方法停止搜索的共同湮灭区,在寻找这些粒子的事件丢失的能量加上一个硬光子或射流的基础上。我们表明,这种方法是非常有效的,并补充正在进行的Tevatron搜索时,允许探测停止质量高达约160 GeV,充分探测区域的参数一致的电弱重子在MSSM。

英文摘要:

Low energy supersymmetric models provide a solution to the hierarchy problem and also have the necessary ingredients to solve two of the most outstanding issues in cosmology: the origin of the baryon asymmetry and the source of dark matter. In the MSSM, weak scale generation of the baryon asymmetry may be achieved in the presence of light stops, with masses lower than about 130 GeV. Moreover, the proper dark matter density may be obtained in the stop-neutralino co-annihilation region, where the stop-neutralino mass difference is smaller than a few tens of GeV. Searches for scalar top quarks (stops) in pair production processes at the Tevatron and at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) become very challenging in this region of parameters. At the LHC, however, light stops proceeding from the decay of gluino pairs may be identified, provided the gluino mass is smaller than about 900 GeV. In this article we propose an alternative method for stop searches in the co-annihilation region, based on the search for these particles in events with missing energy plus one hard photon or jet. We show that this method is quite efficient and, when complemented with ongoing Tevatron searches, allows to probe stop masses up to about 160 GeV, fully probing the region of parameters consistent with electroweak baryogenesis in the MSSM.
