Consistency of the recent ATLAS excess in a simplified GGM model
arXiv:1504.02752 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.91.095016
Abstract
ATLAS recently reported a excess in a leptonic- channel. This was interpreted in the literature in a simplified General Gauge Mediation model containing a gluino, a higgsino next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP) and a gravitino lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP). We test the consistency of this explanation in lieu of the results of the corresponding search in CMS, and other LHC searches for New Physics. Due to non-decoupling effects from squarks the parameter space of these models is split into two regions; in one region additional leptons via top quark production is expected, while the other region sees a large probability for zero-lepton events. After combining the relevant constraints we find that these models cannot explain the ATLAS excess.
