SUSY signatures at LHC g g, g q, q q production dominant for m < 1 TeV lengthy cascade decays of g q are likely events characterized by multiple hard jets, isolated and non-isolated leptons es and µs, and E T from Z 1 or G or νs escaping many jets are b (displaced vertices due to long B lifetime) and τ (1 or 3 charged prongs) jets one way to classify signatures is according to number of isolated leptons Howie Baer, SUSY at LHC, lecture 3: Karlsruhe, July 25, 2007 2

Backgrounds to SUSY events at LHC numerous SM processes give same signature as SUSY! SM BGs include: QCD: multi-jet qq, q q, qg, gg production where E T comes from mis-measurement, cracks, etc. t t, b b, c c W or Z+ multi-jet production WW, WZ, ZZ production, where Z ν ν or τ τ all of above embedded in Isajet, Pythia, Herwig four particle processes: e.g. t tt t, ttbb, etc. WWW, etc. the 2 n for n > 2 processes usually need CalcHEP/Madgraph overlapping events; fake b-jets; fake leptons, etc Howie Baer, SUSY at LHC, lecture 3: Karlsruhe, July 25, 2007 4

Background issues The BGs must be estimated using full event simulation jet broadening, interaction of particles with detectors Must also simulate detector: GEANT or toy or... If possible, use complete 2 n-body matrix elements matching of PS and HO-ME results? avoid double counting VECBOS, AlpGEN, MCNLO, etc. NLO QCD corrections? matching the data: how well do we know SM BG rates? first order of business at LHC: re-discover the SM! calibrate detectors using Z+jets, W+jets, t t production Howie Baer, SUSY at LHC, lecture 3: Karlsruhe, July 25, 2007 5

Conclusions SUSY at LHC event signatures backgrounds cuts reach precision measurements We now have a good idea of what SUSY will look like at the LHC for many SUSY models in 2008, the road to discovery begins at the LHC: time to either discover or rule out supersymmetry at the weak scale, and resolve the physics behind electroweak symmetry breaking!
