Signatures of supersymmetry with non-universal Higgs mass at the Large Hadron Collider

Abstract

We discuss large non-universality in the Higgs sector at high scale in supersymmetric theories, in the context of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In particular, we note that if ${m_{H_u}}^2-{m_{H_d}}^2$ is large and negative ($\simeq 10^6\mathrm{Ge}{\mathrm{V}}^2$) at high scale, the lighter slepton mass eigenstates at the electroweak scale are mostly left chiral, in contrast to a minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) scenario. We use this feature to distinguish between non-universal Higgs masses (NUHM) and mSUGRA by two methods. First, we study final states with same-sign ditaus. We find that an asymmetry parameter reflecting the polarization of the taus provides a notable distinction. In addition, we study a charge asymmetry in the jet-lepton invariant mass distribution, arising from decay chains of left-chiral squarks leading to leptons of the first two families, which sets apart an NUHM scenario of the above kind.
