Two analyses searching for the production of supersymmetric particles through the electroweak interaction are presented: the chargino search, targeting the pair production of charginos decaying into W bosons and neutralinos, and the displaced track search, looking for charged tracks arising from the decays of higgsinos into pions. These searches target compressed phase spaces, where the mass difference between the next-to-lightest and lightest supersymmetric particle is relatively small. The searches use proton-proton collision data collected at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. In the chargino search, the targeted mass difference between charginos and neutralinos is close to the mass of the W boson. In such phase space, the chargino pair production is kinematically similar to the WW background, making the chargino signal experimentally challenging to be discriminated from the WW background. Machine learning techniques are adopted to separate the supersymmetric signal from the backgrounds. The results exclude chargino masses up to about 140 GeV for mass splittings down to about 100 GeV, superseding the previous results in particularly interesting regions where the chargino pair production could have hidden behind the looking-alike WW background. In the displaced track search, the mass difference between the produced sparticles and the lightest neutralinos goes down to 0.3 GeV. The experimental signature has a low momentum charged track with an origin displaced from the collision point. The results show that the analysis has the sensitivity to exclude different hypotheses for higgsino masses up to 175 GeV if no excess is observed in data. For lower masses, the larger signal cross-section allows to achieve higher significance for different mass splitting scenarios. All these signal hypotheses have not been probed by any existing analysis of LHC data.

超对称性通过为标准模型(SM)引入超对称伙伴来扩展标准模型(SM),可以为层次问题提供一个优雅的解决方案。超对称性中最重要的参数之一是顶夸克的超对称伙伴的质量,称为停止。在LHC之前的搜索中没有停止签名的情况下,压缩停止搜索(其中停止的质量接近最轻的中性伴子的质量)变得更加重要。在压缩质谱的情况下,动量转移到停止的衰变产物可能很小,导致衰变产物的横动量只有几个GeV。因此,这些“软”物体的识别和重建可以在搜索中发挥至关重要的作用。本文介绍了用ATLAS探测器在$\sqrt{s}$ =13 TeV pp碰撞中进行压缩停止搜索的最新结果和软b强子标记技术的新进展。
