摘要:

寻找光阻是至关重要的,无论是作为一个有前途的路径,发现超越标准模型物理学,更具体地说,作为一种评估自然性范式的成功。虽然大型强子对撞机的实验已经排除了大部分相关的参数空间,但仍然存在“停止间隙”,即,s粒子质量的值,现有的大型强子对撞机分析有相对较小的灵敏度,以光停止。我们指出,技术涉及壳层约束M_2变量可以做很多工作,以提高灵敏度在这个区域,从而有助于关闭停止间隙。我们演示了使用这些变量的几个基准点,并描述了现实的复杂性,如探测器效应和组合背景的影响,以提供一个有用的工具包,特别是光停止搜索,并在LHC的新物理搜索一般。

英文摘要:

The search for light stops is of paramount importance, both in general as a promising path to the discovery of beyond the standard model physics and more specifically as a way of evaluating the success of the naturalness paradigm. While the LHC experiments have ruled out much of the relevant parameter space, there are "stop gaps", i.e., values of sparticle masses for which existing LHC analyses have relatively little sensitivity to light stops. We point out that techniques involving on-shell constrained M_2 variables can do much to enhance sensitivity in this region and hence help close the stop gaps. We demonstrate the use of these variables for several benchmark points and describe the effect of realistic complications, such as detector effects and combinatorial backgrounds, in order to provide a useful toolkit for light stop searches in particular, and new physics searches at the LHC in general.
