Discovering Supersymmetry with Like-sign Dileptons
نویسندگان
چکیده
Supersymmetry may be discovered at hadron colliders by searching for events similar to the top quark signal of two isolated leptons. In the case of gluino production, the most distinguishing feature is that in half the events the two leading leptons have the same sign. We demonstrate the remarkable sensitivity of this gluino signature at both the Fermilab Tevatron Collider and at the Superconducting Super Collider. Techniques for approximately determining the gluino mass are discussed. Submitted to Physical Review Letters

Like-Sign Dileptons at the Fermilab Tevatron Revisited in the Light of the HERA High-Q Anomaly
We re-examine like-sign dilepton signals at the Fermilab Tevatron assuming that the excess high-Q events recently seen at HERA are due to the production and decay of squarks of R-parity-violating supersymmetry. For gluinos in the mass range of 200–350 GeV, the like-sign dilepton signal can help to make the crucial distinction between the most favoured squark explanation and other proposed solut...
متن کاملA Strong Sector at the LHC: Top Partners in Same–Sign Dileptons
Heavy partners of the top quark are a common prediction of many models in which a new strongly–coupled sector is responsible for the breaking of the EW symmetry. In this paper we investigate their experimental signature at the LHC, focusing on the particularly clean channel of same–sign dileptons. We show that, thank to a strong interaction with the top quark which allows them to be singly prod...
متن کاملSignals for minimal supergravity at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. II. Multilepton channels.
We use ISAJET to perform a detailed study of the multilepton signals expected from cascade decays of supersymmetric particle produced at the CERN LHC. Our analysis is performed within the framework of the minimal supergravity model with gauge coupling unification and radiative electroweak symmetry breaking. We delineate the regions of parameter space where jets plus missing energy plus 1, 2 (op...
متن کاملDiscovering anomaly-mediated supersymmetry at the LHC
The discovery potential of the LHC is investigated for the minimal anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking (mAMSB) scenario, using the ATLAS fast detector simulator, including track reconstruction and particle identification. Generic supersymmetry search cuts are used to map the 5 σ (and ≥ 10 event) discovery contours in the m0–m3/2 plane. With 100 fb of integrated luminosity the search will re...
متن کاملBounds on the CP Asymmetry in Like - sign Dileptons from B 0 B̄ 0 Meson Decays CLEO
We have measured the charge asymmetry in like-sign dilepton yields from BB̄ meson decays using the CLEO detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring. We find all ≡ [N(l l)−N(ll)] / [N(ll) +N(ll)] = +0.013 ± 0.050 ± 0.005. We combine this result with a previous, independent measurement and obtain Re(ǫB)/(1+ |ǫB | ) = +0.0035±0.0103±0.0015 (uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respective...
