Gauge boson fusion as a probe of inverted hierarchies in supersymmetry

Abstract

Supersymmetric scenarios with inverted mass hierarchy can be hard to observe at a hadron collider, particularly for the non-strongly interacting sector. We show how the production of stau-pairs via gauge boson fusion, along with hard jets in the high rapidity region, can be instrumental in uncovering the signatures of such scenarios. We demonstrate this both in a model-independent way and with reference to some specific, well-motivated models.
