Contents SUSY in a nutshell LHC and CMS. Getting the right events: SUSY triggers in CMS: - Low luminosity - High luminosity Inclusive SUSY studies (msugra) SUSY Higgs SUSY Spectroscopy: - Point B, 10 fb -1 - Point B, 300 fb -1 - Point G, 300 fb -1 Conclusion April 14, 2003 Stefano Villa Discovery potential for SUGRA/SUSY at CMS 2
Why SUSY? Try to fix some problems in the Standard Model: - hierarchy (Weak-GUT-Planck) - naturalness (need fine tuning to keep scalar masses small) - no gravity Get some positive side effects: - unification of couplings - SUSY is there basically in all extensions of the SM which include gravity April 14, 2003 Stefano Villa Discovery potential for SUGRA/SUSY at CMS 3
SUSY in a nutshell A symmetry which relates fermions and bosons would solve the naturalness problem: SUSY Bosons Fermions: same number of deg. of freedom in each supermultiplet Fermions Sfermions (squarks, selectrons ) Bosons -inos (gluinos, higgsinos, gauginos ) CLEARLY, SUSY is broken! sparticles should have the same mass as their partners we do not see them.

SUSY in a nutshell Minimal SUSY extension of the SM is MSSM - 2 Higgs doublets. >100 parameters (too many) - introduce constrained MSSM. Parameters: m 1/2 : common gaugino mass at GUT scale m 0 : common scalar mass at GUT scale m A : pseudoscalar Higgs mass tanβ : ratio of vev of the two Higgs doublets µ : Higgs mixing parameter A t,b,τ : stop, sbottom, stau mixing parameters April 14, 2003 Stefano Villa Discovery potential for SUGRA/SUSY at CMS 5
SUSY in a nutshell Add more assumptions (SUSY breaking communicated by gravitation) minimal supergravity (msugra). only 5 parameters: m 1/2, m 0, tanβ, sign(µ (µ), A 0 One more variable in the game: R-parity: P R = (-1) 3(B-L)+2s P R = +1 for standard particles P R = -1 for sparticles If R-parity conserved the lightest sparticle is stable (LSP, a good candidate for dark matter) and sparticles are always produced in even numbers.
