Closing in on the tip of the CMSSM stau coannihilation strip

Near the tip of the ˜τ coannihilation strip in the CMSSM with a neutralino lightest supersymmetric particle χ, the astrophysical cold dark matter density constraint forces the ˜τ−χ mass difference to be small. If this mass difference is smaller than mτ, the ˜τ may decay either in the outer part of a...

Description
Summary:Near the tip of the ˜τ coannihilation strip in the CMSSM with a neutralino lightest supersymmetric particle χ, the astrophysical cold dark matter density constraint forces the ˜τ−χ mass difference to be small. If this mass difference is smaller than mτ, the ˜τ may decay either in the outer part of an LHC detector—the “disappearing track” signature—or be sufficiently long-lived to leave the detector before decaying—the long-lived massive charged-particle signature. We combine searches for these signatures with conventional EmissT searches during LHC Run 1, identifying the small remaining parts of the CMSSM ˜τ coannihilation strip region that have not yet been excluded and discussing how they may be explored during Run 2 of the LHC.
