abstract

Light neutralinos could be copiously produced from the decays of mesons generated in cosmic-ray air showers. These neutralinos can be long-lived particles in the context of R-parity violating (RPV) supersymmetric models, implying that they could be capable of reaching the surface of the earth and decay within the instrumental volume of large neutrino detectors. In this letter, we use atmospheric neutrino data from the Super-Kamiokande experiment to derive novel constraints for the RPV couplings involved in the production of long-lived light neutralinos from the decays of charged $D$-mesons and kaons. Our results highlight the potential of neutrino detectors to search for long-lived particles, by demonstrating that it is possible to explore regions of parameter space that are not yet constrained by any fixed-target nor collider experiments.

  1. Probing light neutralinos from pair-produced sleptons with displaced vertices at the high-luminosity LHC

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A displaced-vertex search for slepton pair production at the HL-LHC can probe RPV coupling lambda-prime-111 down to about 1e-7 and neutralino masses up to roughly 1 TeV, far beyond single-slepton production.

    hep-ph 2025-04 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new 'emerging photon jet' signature in the hadronic calorimeter could make neutral long-lived particles decaying to photons visible at the HL-LHC.
