Dijet Searches for Supersymmetry at the LHC

TL;DR

This paper proposes new dijet search strategies for supersymmetry at the LHC that do not rely on missing energy, showing promising signal-to-background ratios and potential to discover heavy squarks up to 1.7 TeV.

Contribution

It introduces novel dijet search methods for supersymmetry that do not depend on missing energy, enhancing detection prospects at the LHC.

Findings

Signal-to-background ratios of 4-5 are achievable.

Discovery potential for squarks up to ~1.7 TeV.

Strategies do not require missing energy signatures.

Abstract

We present several strategies for searching for supersymmetry in dijet channels that do not explicitly invoke missing energy. Preliminary investigations suggest that signal-to-background ratios of at least 4--5 should be achievable at the LHC, with discovery possible for squarks as heavy as ~ 1.7 TeV.
