Signals of Doubly-Charged Higgsinos at the CERN Large Hadron Collider

TL;DR

This paper explores the unique collider signals of doubly-charged Higgsinos predicted by left-right supersymmetric models at the LHC, highlighting their potential to distinguish these models from others.

Contribution

It provides a detailed analysis of production and decay signatures of doubly-charged Higgsinos, revealing novel signals specific to left-right supersymmetric models.

Findings

Doubly-charged Higgsinos produce distinctive collider signatures.

These signatures can differentiate left-right SUSY models from other theories.

LHC measurements can identify the underlying supersymmetric model.

Abstract

Several supersymmetric models with extended gauge structures, motivated by either grand unification or by neutrino mass generation, predict light doubly-charged Higgsinos. In this work we study productions and decays of doubly-charged Higgsinos present in left-right supersymmetric models, and show that they invariably lead to novel collider signals not found in the minimal supersymmetric model (MSSM) or in any of its extensions motivated by the \mu problem or even in extra dimensional theories. We investigate their distinctive signatures at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in both pair-- and single--production modes, and show that they are powerful tools in determining the underlying model via the measurements at the LHC experiments.
