Model-Independent Bounds on Squarks from Monophoton Searches
arXiv:1205.1463 · doi:10.1007/JHEP08(2012)151
Abstract
Supersymmetry with a compressed spectrum could be responsible for the negative results from supersymmetric searches at LHC. Squarks and gluinos well below the TeV scale could have escaped detection since all search channels lose sensitivity when the mass splitting between supersymmetric particles becomes small. Even in this stealthy situation, production of colored particles is probed in processes with supersymmetric particles produced in association with a high-pT photon. We show that searches for missing energy with a monophoton are a powerful tool, and that the 2011 LHC data already surpasses the limits set by LEP and TeVatron in the compressed case. We set a model-independent bound on the mass of any up (down) type squark of 150 (110) GeV, and stronger model-dependent bounds can be set. We also comment on the expected improvement on those bounds in the 2012 LHC run.
