Phenomenological Implications of Low Energy Supersymmetry Breaking

Abstract

The experimental signatures for low energy supersymmetry breaking are presented. The lightest standard model superpartner is unstable and decays to its partner plus a Goldstino, $G$. For a supersymmetry breaking scale below a few 1000 TeV this decay can take place within a detector, leading to very distinctive signatures. If a neutralino is the lightest standard model superpartner it decays by ${\chi }_1^0\to \gamma +G$, and if kinematically accessible by ${\chi }_1^0\to (Z^0,h^0,H^0,A^0)+G$. These decays can give rise to displaced vertices. Alternately, if a slepton is the lightest standard model superpartner it decays by $\tilde{l}\to l+G$. This can be seen as a greater than minimum ionizing charged particle track, possibly with a kink to a minimum ionizing track.
