Impact of squark generation mixing on the search for gluinos at LHC
نویسنده
چکیده
We study gluino decays in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) with squark generation mixing. We show that the effect of this mixing on the gluino decay branching ratios can be very large in a significant part of the MSSM parameter space despite the very strong experimental constraints on quark flavour violation (QFV) from B meson observables. Especially we find that under favourable conditions the branching ratio of the the QFV gluino decay g̃ → c t̄ (c̄ t) χ̃1 can be as large as ∼ 50%. We also find that the squark generation mixing can result in a multiple-edge (3or 4-edge) structure in the charm-top quark invariant mass distribution. The appearance of this remarkable structure provides an additional powerful test of supersymmetric QFV at LHC. These could have an important impact on the search for gluinos and the determination of the MSSM parameters at LHC.

Split Supersymmetry and Dark Matter Generation
We analyze a simple Split Supersymmetry scenario where fermion masses come from anomaly mediation, yielding ms ∼ 1000 TeV, m3/2 ∼ 100 TeV, and mf ∼ 1 TeV. We consider non-thermal dark matter production in the presence of moduli, and we find that the decay chains of moduli → LSPs and moduli → gravitinos → LSPs generate dark matter more efficiently than perturbative freeze-out, allowing for a lig...

We analyze a simple Split Supersymmetry scenario where fermion masses come from anomaly mediation, yielding ms ∼ 1000 TeV, m3/2 ∼ 100 TeV, and mf ∼ 1 TeV. We find that the decay chain of moduli fields → gravitinos → LSPs generates dark matter more efficiently than perturbative freeze-out, allowing for a light, LHC visible spectrum. These decaying moduli can also weaken cosmological constraints ...
متن کاملFlavour violating squark and gluino decays
We consider scenarios with large flavour violating entries in the squark mass matrices focusing on the mixing between second and third generation squarks. These entries govern both, flavour violating low energy observables on the one hand and squark and gluino decays on the other hand. We first discuss the constraints on the parameter space due to the recent data on B mesons from the B factorie...
متن کاملShould Squarks Be Degenerate?
For generic squark masses, box diagrams with squarks and gluinos give unacceptably large contributions to neutral meson (K, B and D) mixing. The standard solution to this problem is to assume that squarks are degenerate to a very good approximation. We suggest an alternative mechanism to suppress squark contributions to flavor changing neutral currents: the alignment of quark with squark mass m...
متن کاملGluino production in some supersymmetric models at the LHC
In this article we review the mechanisms in several supersymmetric models for producing gluinos at the LHC and its potential for discovering them. We focus on the MSSM and its left-right extensions. We study in detail the strong sector of both models. Moreover, we obtain the total cross section and differential distributions. We also make an analysis of their uncertainties, such as the gluino a...
