Sparticle Masses from Kinematic Fitting at a Muon Collider
نویسنده
چکیده
Three case studies are presented of slepton pair production followed by two-body or quasi-two-body decays at a muon collider. Precision mass measurements are possible using a variety of kinematic fitting methods. Standard Model and supersymmetric backgrounds are easily controlled by kinematic cuts. In all three cases it appears that detector resolutions, not backgrounds or statistics, will dominate the final error bars. Polarized beams are not necessary to control SM backgrounds. However, without polarization it may be difficult in some cases to disentangle l̃R from l̃L signals.

Model-Independent SUSY Masses from 4-Lepton Kinematic Invariants at the LHC
It is well known that finding and measuring the masses of supersymmetric particles (sparticles) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) may be possible using invariant mass distributions in exclusive channels of N observable final state particles. Typically this has been done for N ≤ 3 which only gives 3 or fewer independent invariant masses; we extend this programme to N = 4 which then gives 7 inva...
متن کاملGravitino Dark Matter Scenarios with Massive Metastable Charged Sparticles at the LHC
We investigate the measurement of supersymmetric particle masses at the LHC in gravitino dark matter (GDM) scenarios where the next-to-lightest supersymmetric partner (NLSP) is the lighter scalar tau, or stau, and is stable on the scale of a detector. Such a massive metastable charged sparticle would have distinctive Time-of-Flight (ToF) and energy-loss (dE/dx) signatures. We summarise the docu...
متن کاملDis Prospects at the Future Muon Collider Facility
We discuss prospects of deep inelastic scattering physics capabilities at the future muon collider facility. In addition to μμ collider itself, the facility provides other possibilities. Among the possibilities, we present muon-proton collider and neutrino fixed target programs at the muon collider facility. This μ − p collider program extends kinematic reach and luminosity by an order of magni...
متن کاملRecent Result from E 821 Experiment on Muon g − 2 and Unconstrained Minimal Supersymemtric Standard Model
Recently, the E821 experiment at the Brookhaven National Laboratory announced their latest result of their muon g−2 measurement which is about 2.6-σ away from the standard model prediction. Taking this result seriously, we examine the possibility to explain this discrepancy by the supersymmetric contribution. Our analysis is performed in the framework of the unconstrained supersymmetric standar...
متن کاملOverview of Physics at a Muon Collider * I Introduction
Muon colliders offer special opportunities to discover and study new physics. With the high intensity source of muons at the front end, orders of magnitude improvements would be realized in searches for rare muon processes, in deep inelastic muon and neutrino scattering experiments, and in long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. At a 100 to 500 GeV muon collider, neutral Higgs boson (or...
