We emphasise that charged slepton pairs produced via vector-boson fusion along with two high-mass, high-$p_T$ forward/backward jets (in two opposite hemispheres) can have a higher production cross-section for heavy slepton masses than that from conventional Drell-Yan production at a hadronic collider like the LHC. We analyse the signal and leading backgrounds in detail in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with conserved baryon and lepton numbers. Our investigation reveals that the mass reach of the vector-boson fusion channel is certainly an improvement over the scope of the Drell-Yan mode.

  1. Stopping Dark Mesons in Their Tracks with Long-Lived Particle and Resonant Signatures

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    Recast LHC searches yield a ~1.2 TeV lower bound on long-lived charged dark mesons and show that anomaly-driven diboson resonances can reconstruct UV parameters like dark flavor and color numbers from IR measurements.
