Bounds on R-parity Violation from Resonant Slepton Production at the LHC

TL;DR

This paper interprets LHC dijet and dimuon resonance searches to establish bounds on R-parity violating supersymmetric models, focusing on resonant slepton production and decay.

Contribution

It provides new bounds on R-parity violation parameters by analyzing existing LHC resonance search data for the first time in this context.

Findings

Bounds on R-parity violating couplings derived from LHC data

Constraints on slepton masses from resonance searches

Implications for supersymmetric model parameter space

Abstract

We consider the ATLAS and CMS searches for dijet resonances, as well as the ATLAS search for like-sign dimuon pairs at the LHC with 7 TeV center of mass energy. We interpret their exclusions in terms of bounds on the supersymmetric R-parity violating parameter space. For this we focus on resonant slepton production followed by the corresponding decay.
