Beyond the Standard Model
  • Beyond the Standard Model physics one of the
    priorities of on-going physics studies (Data
    Challenges/full-sim fast-sim).
  • Huge variety of models being studied.
  • In this talk will concentrate on a few topics ?
    mostly recent work.
  • Cannot do justice to even these in 30 minutes.
  • Will highlight models and techniques to be
    studied for Rome.
  • Plans for physics commissioning studied (SUSY)
    described earlier this week (Saturday).
  • Many thanks to Georges Azuelos, Samir Ferrag
    members of SUSY Exotics WGs.

Supersymmetry
m1/2 (GeV)
  • SUSY particularly well-motivated solution to
    gauge hierarchy problem, unification of couplings
    etc.
  • Also often provides natural solution to Dark
    Matter problem of astrophysics/cosmology.
  • Much work carried out historically by ATLAS
    (summarised in TDR).
  • Work continuing to ensure ready to test new ideas
    in 2007.

SUSY Signatures
  • Q What do we expect SUSY events _at_ LHC to look
    like?
  • A Look at typical decay chain
  • Strongly interacting sparticles (squarks,
    gluinos) dominate production.
  • Heavier than sleptons, gauginos etc. g cascade
    decays to LSP.
  • Long decay chains and large mass differences
    between SUSY states
  • Many high pT objects observed (leptons, jets,
    b-jets).
  • If R-Parity conserved LSP (lightest neutralino in
    mSUGRA) stable and sparticles pair produced.
  • Large ETmiss signature (c.f. Wgln).
  • Closest equivalent SM signature tgWb.

Dilepton Edge Measurements
  • When kinematically accessible c02 can undergo
    sequential two-body decay to c01 via a
    right-slepton (e.g. LHC Point 5).
  • Results in sharp OS SF dilepton invariant mass
    edge sensitive to combination of masses of
    sparticles.
  • Can perform SM SUSY background subtraction
    using OF distribution
  • ee- mm- - em- - me-
  • Position of edge measured with precision 0.5
  • (30 fb-1).

Measurements With Squarks
  • Dilepton edge starting point for reconstruction
    of decay chain.
  • Make invariant mass combinations of leptons and
    jets.
  • Gives multiple constraints on combinations of
    four masses.
  • Sensitivity to individual sparticle masses.

Sbottom/Gluino Mass
Gjelsten et al., ATL-PHYS-2004-007

  • Following measurement of squark, slepton and
    neutralino masses move up decay chain and study
    alternative chains.
  • One possibility require b-tagged jet in addition
    to dileptons.
  • Give sensitivity to sbottom mass (actually two
    peaks) and gluino mass.
  • Problem with large error on input c01 mass
    remains g reconstruct difference of gluino and
    sbottom masses.
  • Allows separation of b1 and b2 with 300 fb-1.

RH Squark Mass
Gjelsten et al., ATL-PHYS-2004-007
  • Right handed squarks difficult as rarely decay
    via standard c02 chain
  • Typically BR (qR g c01q) gt 99.
  • Instead search for events with 2 hard jets and
    lots of ETmiss.
  • Reconstruct mass using stransverse mass
    (Allanach et al.)
  • mT22 min maxmT2(pTj(1),qTc(1)mc),
    mT2(pTj(2),qTc(2)mc)
  • Needs c01 mass measurement as input.
  • Also works for sleptons.

  • Also possible to identify dilepton edges from
    decays of heavy gauginos.
  • Requires high stats.

Measuring Model Parameters
Rome
Polesello et al., ATL-PHYS-2004-008
  • Alternative use for SUSY observables (invariant
    mass end-points, thresholds etc.).
  • Here assume mSUGRA/CMSSM model and perform global
    fit of model parameters to observables
  • So far mostly private codes but e.g. SFITTER,
    FITTINO now on the market
  • c.f. global EW fits at LEP, ZFITTER, TOPAZ0 etc.

SUSY Dark Matter
Rome
Polesello et al., ATL-PHYS-2004-008

SUSY Spin Measurement
Barr, ATL-PHYS-2004-017
  • Q How do we know that a SUSY signal is really
    due to SUSY?
  • Other models (e.g. UED) can mimic SUSY mass
    spectrum
  • A Measure spin of new particles.
  • One proposal (Barr) use standard two-body
    slepton decay chain
  • charge asymmetry of lq pairs measures spin of c02
  • relies on valence quark contribution to pdf of
    proton (C asymmetry)
  • shape of dilepton invariant mass spectrum
    measures slepton spin

Little Higgs Models
DC2
Rome
  • Solves hierarchy problem by cancelling loop
    corrections (top, W/Z, Higgs loops) to the Higgs
    mass with new states.
  • New states derived from extended gauge group
    rather than new continuous symmetry (c.f. SUSY).
  • Littlest Higgs model contains not too little,
    not too much, but just enough extra gauge
    symmetry
  • Electroweak singlet T quark (top loop) mixes
    with top
  • New gauge bosons WH, AH, ZH (W/Z loops)
  • New SU(2)L triplet scalars, including neutral,
    singly charged, doubly charged f (Higgs loops).
  • Requirement that these states protect Higgs from
    large corrections limits their masses
  • T quark 1 TeV
  • WH, AH, ZH 1 TeV
  • f0, f/-, f/-/- 10 TeV.

Exclusive Studies
  • With more data will attempt to measure weak scale
    SUSY parameters (masses etc.) using exclusive
    channels.
  • Different philosophy to TeV Run II (better S/B,
    longer decay chains) g aim to use
    model-independent measures.
  • Two neutral LSPs escape from each event
  • Impossible to measure mass of each sparticle
    using one channel alone
  • Use kinematic end-points to measure combinations
    of masses.
  • Old technique used many times before (n mass from
    b decay spectrum, W (transverse) mass in Wgln).
  • Difference here is we don't know mass of neutral
    final state particles.

32
Mass Relation Method
Nojiri et al., ATL-PHYS-2003-039
  • Hot off the press new idea for reconstructing
    SUSY masses!
  • Impossible to measure mass of each sparticle
    using one channel alone (Page 8).
  • Should have added caveat Only if done
    event-by-event!
  • Remove ambiguities by combining different events
    analytically g mass relation method (Nojiri et
    al.).
  • Also allows all events to be used, not just those
    passing hard cuts (useful if background small,
    buts stats limited e.g. high scale SUSY).

  • Mass of lightest chargino very difficult to

  • Decay process via nslepton gives too many extra
    degrees of freedom - concentrate instead on decay
    c1 g W c01.
  • Require dilepton c02 decay chain on other leg
    of event and use kinematics to calculate chargino
    mass analytically.
  • Using sideband subtraction technique obtain clear
    peak at true chargino mass (218 GeV).
  • 3 s significance for 100 fb-1.

  • Low electron/muon/tau energy thresholds crucial.
  • At high tan(b) stau decay channel dominates.
