abstract

We study the feasibility of probing a region of Natural Supersymmetry where the stop and higgsino masses are compressed. Although this region is most effectively searched for in the mono-jet channel, this signature is present in many other non-supersymmetric frameworks. Therefore, another channel that carries orthogonal information is required to confirm the existence of the light stop and higgsinos. We show that a supersymmetric version of the $t \bar t H$ process, $pp \to t \tilde t_1 \tilde \chi^0_{1(2)}$, can have observably large rate when both the stop and higgsinos are significantly light, and it leads to a distinctive mono-top signature in the compressed mass region. We demonstrate that the hadronic channel of the mono-top signature can effectively discriminate the signal from backgrounds by tagging a hadronic top-jet. We show that the hadronic channel of mono-top signature offers a significant improvement over the leptonic channel and the sensitivity reaches $m_{\tilde t_1} \simeq 420$ GeV at the 13 TeV LHC with 3 ab$^{-1}$ luminosity.

Mono-b events from single stop production at the HL-LHC and HE-LHC

hep-ph · 2019-09-05 · conditional · novelty 5.0

A simulation predicts that the mono-b signature from electroweak single-stop production can probe stop masses up to roughly 1.6 TeV at the 27 TeV High Energy LHC, assuming systematic uncertainties stay at the few-percent level.
