Supersymmetry at the DiTevatron

Abstract

We study the signals for supersymmetry at the Tevatron and DiTevatron ($\sqrt{s}=4\TeV$) in various well-motivated supersymmetric models. We consider the trilepton signature in the decay of pair-produced charginos and neutralinos, the missing energy signature in gluino and squark production, and the $b\bar{b}$ signal in the decay of the lightest supersymmetric Higgs boson produced in association with a $W$ or $Z$ boson. In each case we perform signal and background studies, using Monte Carlo and/or real data to estimate the sensitivity to these signals at the Tevatron and DiTevatron with the Main Injector, for short- and long-term integrated luminosities of $\mathcal{L}=10$ and $25\ifb$, and $5\sigma$ statistical significance. We conclude that one could probe chargino masses as high as $m_{χ^\pm_1}\sim180\,(200)\GeV$, gluino masses as high as $m_{\tilde g}\sim450\,(750)\GeV$, and lightest Higgs boson masses as high as $m_h\sim110\,(120)\GeV$ at the Tevatron (DiTevatron). A high-luminosity option at the Tevatron ($10^{33}\cm^{-2}\s^{-1}$) may compensate somewhat for the higher reach of the DiTevatron, but only in the trilepton and Higgs signals. However, these gains may be severely compromised once the multiple-interaction environment of the high-luminosity Tevatron is accounted for.
