• Sparticle decays generate:– Missing ET (LSP)
– Jets (squarks/gluino)– Leptons (sleptons)
• “If we see these at LHC we have discovered SUSY”
• Not necessarily…

Universal Extra Dimensions
• TeV-scale universal extra dimension model• Kaluza-Klein states of SM particles
– same QN’s as SM– mn
2 ≈ m02 + n2/R2 [+ boundary terms]
– same spin as SM– KK parity
• Lightest KK state stable, and weakly interacting
• 1st KK mode pair-produced
• First KK level looks a lot like SUSY

How to measure?• lnearq shows nice charge asymmetry
– Excellent probe of spin of
• Experimental problems in measurement:– Can’t tell near lepton from far lepton
• Plot l+q and l–q instead -> contributions from both near and far
– Can’t tell quark jet from anti-quark• Sum of q and q-bar is measurable• pp collider -> get squark asymmetry from PDFs

Production asymmetry
Peak near 0.1, 0.1Valence quarks
Parton distribution functionhas more q than q-bar for Bjorken x ≈ 0.1
-> pp collider produces more squarks than anti-squarks

(Twice as much for our point)

Cross-checkNo asymmetry if spincorrelations turned off
• Monte Carlo is HERWIG (6.5)
• Can turn off spin correlations– distribution for
“scalar 20”
– consistent with flat– not consistent with
spin-½ 20 of
previous page (linearly increasing)

Further evidence - slepton spin
• Dilepton invariant mass.– “Right-handed” slepton– l+ and l- are right handed– might expect
pronounced spin effects (as for lq distributions)
– none because slepton is scalar
• Scalar particle carrying lepton number– sounds like a slepton to
me!

Conclusions• Method for measuring spins of SUSY
particles at the LHC• Measure l±q invariant mass distributions
– equivalent to angular distributions in • Look for lepton charge asymmetry• Requires initial asymmetry in squark vs
anti-squark production– valence quarks in PDFs at x ~ 0.1
• Measure spin-½ nature of 20
• Also spin-0 slepton from mll
• Should be enough to kill “straw man” e.g. universal extra dimensions
