Contact Interactions at the LHC
Contact interactions offer a general framework for describing a new interaction with a scale above the energy scale probed. These interactions can occur if the StandardModel particles are composite or if new heavy particles are exchanged. The discovery potential of contact interactions at the LHC in dimuon and dijet final states at startup and the asymptotic reach are presented. PACS. 12.60.Rc ...
متن کاملCosmology and Dark Matter at the LHC
We examine the question of whether neutralinos produced at the LHC can be shown to be the particles making up the astronomically observed dark matter. If the WIMP alllowed region lies in the SUGRA coannihilation region, then a strong signal for this would be the unexpected near degeneracy of the stau and neutralino i.e., a mass difference ∆M ≃ (5−15) GeV. For the mSUGRA model we show such a sma...
متن کاملDark Matter characterization at the LHC in the Effective Field Theory approach
We have studied the complete set of dimension 5 and dimension 6 effective operators involving the interaction of scalar, fermion and vector Dark Matter (DM) with SM quarks and gluons, to explore the possibility to distinguish these operators and characterise the spin of DM at the LHC. We have found that three factors — the effective dimension of the operator, the structure of the SM part of the...
متن کاملConstraining Dark Matter in the MSSM at the LHC
In the event that R-Parity conserving supersymmetry (SUSY) is discovered at the LHC, a key issue which will need to be addressed will be the consistency of that signal with astrophysical and non-accelerator constraints on SUSY Dark Matter. This issue is studied for the SPA benchmark model based on measurements of end-points and thresholds in the invariant mass spectra of various combinations of...
متن کاملIdentifying Dark Matter Event Topologies at the LHC
Assuming dark matter particles can be pair-produced at the LHC from cascade decays of heavy particles, we investigate strategies to identify the event topologies based on the kinematic information of final state visible particles. This should be the first step towards measuring the masses and spins of the new particles in the decay chains including the dark matter particle. As a concrete exampl...
