Same-sign top quarks as signature of light stops at the CERN LHC | S. Kraml

22 Dec 2005 | Abstract: | We present a new method to search for a light scalar top with $m_{ ilde{t}_1}lsim m_t$, decaying dominantly into a c-jet and the lightest neutralino, at the LHC. The principal idea is to exploit the Majorana nature of the gluino, leading to same-sign top quarks in events of gluino-pair production followed by gluino decays into top and stop. The resulting signature is 2 b-jets plus 2 same-sign leptons plus additional jets and missing energy. We perform a Monte Carlo simulation for a benchmark scenario, which is in agreement with the recent WMAP bound on the relic density of dark matter, and demonstrate that for $m_{ ilde{g}}lsim 900$ GeV and $m_{ ilde{q}}>m_{ ilde{g}}$ the signal can be extracted from the background. Moreover, we discuss the determination of the stop and gluino masses from the shape of invariant-mass distributions. The derivation of the shape formulae is also given. | Source: | arXiv, hep-ph/0512284 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
