Tau polarization in SUSY cascade decays at LHC⋆
نویسنده
چکیده
We explore how the polarization of the tau leptons in the cascade decay q̃ → qχ̃2 → qτ τ̃ → qττ χ̃1 can be exploited to study mixing properties of neutralinos and staus. We present details of the analysis including experimental effects such as transverse momentum cuts for the τ → πν decay mode, and show that the di-pion invariant mass distribution provides valuable information on their properties.

Physics with tau’s in the final states at CMS
On the eve of LHC start-up, the main opportunities offered to CMS to discover and ultimately study new physics with tau’s in the final states are presented. From the discovery of the Higgs boson in the Standard Model, of its extension in the MSSM or in non-SUSY alternatives to the measurement of SUSY mass spectrum in q̃ → qχ̃2 → qτ τ̃ cascade decays, this talk reviews the most recent analyses deve...
متن کاملMeasuring τ -polarisation in χ̃2 decays at the LHC
We show how the sum of the two average tau polarisations in the decay chain χ̃2 → τ̃1τ → ττ χ̃1 in minimal supersymmetry with conserved R-parity can be measured at the LHC. This is accomplished by exploiting the polarisation dependence of the visible di-tau mass spectrum. Such a measurement provides information on the couplings of the involved SUSY particles and allows a more precise determination...
متن کاملProbing Supersymmetry With Third-Generation Cascade Decays
The chiral structure of supersymmetric particle couplings involving third generation Standard Model fermions depends on left-right squark and slepton mixings as well as gaugino-higgsino mixings. The shapes and intercorrelations of invariant mass distributions of a first or second generation lepton with bottoms and taus arising from adjacent branches of SUSY cascade decays are shown to be a sens...
متن کاملProposal for a New Reconstruction Technique for SUSY Processes at the LHC
When several sparticle masses are known, the kinematics of SUSY decay processes observed at the LHC can be solved if the cascade decays contain sufficient steps. We demonstrate four examples of this full reconstruction technique applied to channels involving leptons, namely a) gluino mass determination, b) sbottom mass determination, c) LSP momentum reconstruction, and d) heavy higgs mass deter...
متن کاملτ Polarization in SUSY Cascade Decays
τ leptons emitted in cascade decays of supersymmetric particles are polarized. The polarization may be exploited to determine spin and mixing properties of the neutralinos and stau particles involved.
