Lepton flavour violating signature in supersymmetric $U(1{)}^{\prime }$ seesaw models at the LHC

Abstract

We consider a $U(1{)}^{\prime }$ supersymmetric seesaw model in which a right-handed sneutrino is a thermal dark matter candidate whose relic density can be in the right range due to its coupling to relatively light $\widetilde{Z^{\prime }}$, the superpartner of the extra gauge boson $Z^{\prime }$. Such light ${\tilde{Z}}^{\prime }$ can be produced at the LHC through cascade decays of colored superparticles, in particular, stops and sbottoms, and then decay to a right-handed neutrino and a sneutrino dark matter, which leads to lepton flavor violating signals of same/opposite-sign dileptons (or multileptons) accompanied by large missing energy. Taking some benchmark points, we analyze the opposite- and same-sign dilepton signatures and the corresponding flavour difference i.e., ($2e-2\mu$). It is shown that $5\sigma$ signal significance can be reached for some benchmark points with very early data of $\sim 2$ fb${}^{-1}$ integrated luminosity. In addition, $3\ell$ and $4\ell$ signatures also look promising to check the consistency in the model prediction, and it is possible to reconstruct the $\widetilde{Z^{\prime }}$ mass from $jj\ell$ invariant mass distribution.
