Susy via Resonances ??MSSM:- particles with L or B numbers- renormalizable terms violate L or B
Potential disaster:- much too fast proton decay
RP conservation:- PR = (-1)2S • (-1)3(B-L)
- forbids L and B violating terms- PR= +1 (-1) for SM (SUSY) particles- LSP stable, in all cascade decays, DM
No resonances--> look for an excess in SM tail
4
Susy via Resonances ??Beyond MSSM with RP conservation:
Extended supersymmetry: -- minimal ? new pheno ? flavor-violation ? dirac gauginos ? … -- new particles with PR = +1 --> resonances in RP conserved susy !
RP violated susy: -- B and L conservation ? neutrino masses and mixing ? …
-- some of the couplings have to be small --> stable proton
--> Scalar-gluon search
--> RPV tau sneutrino search

Introduction to RPV Sneutrino search
Search for RPV sneutrino with lepton number violation decay:
- eμ clean signature with low SM background- previous limit from low energy tau branching ratio:
λ’311 < 0.11 and λ312 < 0.07 for Mslepton = Msquark =
100 GeV
λ’311 ≠ 0 and λ312 ≠ 0

Event Selection
Using L=1.07 fb-1: 2011 dataSingle lepton (e, μ) trigger (100±1%)
Electron:-- pT > 25 GeV-- |η| < 1.37 or 1.42 < |η| < 2.47-- isolated in EM calorimeter-- shower shape requirements
Muon:-- pT > 25 GeV-- |η| < 2.4-- reconstructed in ID and MS-- isolated in the ID
- Exactly one muon and one electron with opposite-sign charge
- No requirements on #jets and ETmiss
Signal generated with HERWIG + JIMMY + NLO k-factor

Backgrounds Physics backgrounds (real leptons) -- Z/γ*->tau,tau top pair single top WW, WZ, ZZ -- Estimated using MC corrected for data/MC differences
Instrumental background (lepton faked by photon or jet) -- W/Z+γ estimated using MC -- SM multijet and W/Z+jets estimated using data-driven matrix method: 1) Define loose and tight lepton definitions 2) Apply on all events to get NTT,NTL,NLT,NLL
3) Determine efficiency (r) and fake rate (f) for a lepton that has passed the loose definition to also pass the tight definition 4) Solve the 4*4 matrix:

Excluded @ 95% CL: - 1.32 TeV for λ′311 = 0.10 and λ312 = 0.05 - 1.45 TeV for λ′311 = 0.11 and λ312 = 0.07
Bayesian method (uniform prior for signal cross section):

Analysis strategy
4 jets pT > 0.55 * Msgluon
ΔRjj < 1.6
|Cos(θ*)| < 0.5 |M1–M2|/(M1+M2) <
0.075Look for an excess in the (M1+M2)/2 distribution.
Combinatory: Event selection:
Using L=34 pb-1: 2010 dataMultijet trigger: 4 jets pT > 55 GeV --> Low threshold = low mass~same amount recorded in 2011 for this threshold
Scalar production at rest suppressed by factor β -- > “ Slightly Boosted ” regime
Minimize :
| ΔRij – 1 | + |ΔRkl - 1|
Where ijkl are the 4 leading jets

ConclusionSearch for tau sneutrino decaying to eμ: -- limits for sneutrino mass vs coupling in RPV (0.1 – 2. TeV)
Search for pair-produced sgluon decaying to four-jets: -- limits for low mass colored scalar (100 – 200 GeV)
Other interpretations already available (LFV Z’, hypercolor).More to come with higher Luminosity, Energy, refined analysis
