Enhanced sensitivity to stealth SUSY in the low neutralino mass region at the LHC
Abstract
Using a set of missing energy-independent selection criteria based on large-radius jet multiplicity and angular separation among the final state objects, this work extends the discovery potential of the squark-pair stealth SUSY process in the low missing transverse energy (ɆT) parameter space, thereby complementing the existing CMS stealth SUSY search that is sensitive in the high ɆT regime. With these kinematic cuts, the estimated sensitivity extends to squark masses up to mq̃ = 2100 GeV for a neutralino mass of around mχ̃⁰₁ = 250 GeV.
