摘要:

我们提出了一个研究的可能性,寻找长寿命的超对称合作伙伴的MoEDAL实验在LHC。MoEDAL对高度电离的物体敏感,如磁单极子或大质量(Meta)稳定带电粒子。我们专注于直接检测长寿命的slepton在一个唯象现实的模型,其中涉及一个中间的中性长寿命粒子的衰变链的前景。这种情况还没有被ATLAS或CMS的当前数据排除,并且与天体物理学的限制兼容。使用蒙特卡罗模拟,我们比较了MoEDAL与ATLAS的敏感性,在这种情况下,MoEDAL可以提供发现达到补充ATLAS和CMS,由于宽松的选择标准结合虚拟的背景。值得指出的是,在这种情况下,带电粒子是主要的长寿命候选者,MoEDAL的相关质量范围与超对称性在解释ANITA探测器观测到的异常事件方面的潜在作用是一致的。

英文摘要:

We present a study on the possibility of searching for long-lived supersymmetric partners with the MoEDAL experiment at the LHC. MoEDAL is sensitive to highly ionising objects such as magnetic monopoles or massive (meta)stable electrically charged particles. We focus on prospects of directly detecting long-lived sleptons in a phenomenologically realistic model which involves an intermediate neutral long-lived particle in the decay chain. This scenario is not yet excluded by the current data from ATLAS or CMS, and is compatible with astrophysical constraints. Using Monte Carlo simulation, we compare the sensitivities of MoEDAL versus ATLAS in scenarios where MoEDAL could provide discovery reach complementary to ATLAS and CMS, thanks to looser selection criteria combined with the virtual absence of background. It is also interesting to point out that, in such scenarios, in which charged staus are the main long-lived candidates, the relevant mass range for MoEDAL is compatible with a potential role of Supersymmetry in providing an explanation for the anomalous events observed by the ANITA detector.
