Resonant Production of Sbottom via RPV Couplings at the LHeC

TL;DR

This paper explores the potential of the LHeC collider to detect resonant sbottom production via RPV couplings, providing improved constraints on these couplings at TeV energies.

Contribution

It presents a novel analysis of sbottom production at the LHeC, demonstrating the collider's capability to set tighter bounds on RPV couplings compared to previous experiments.

Findings

Constraints on RPV couplings can be improved to 10^{-3} with 1 fb^{-1} luminosity.

The study shows the LHeC's potential to probe new physics beyond the standard model.

Resonant sbottom production can be effectively studied at the proposed collider.

Abstract

Resonant production of scalar bottom, which is allowed in R-parity violating interactions of supersymmetry, has been investigated at the LHeC collider. Although searching for the physics beyond the standard model is a primary task of the LHC, recently, an $\mathit{e^{-}p}$ collider (LHeC) is proposed to complement and resolve the observation of new phenomena at the TeV scale. In this paper, we have studied on the prospects of improving constraints for $\hat{L}\hat{Q}\hat{D}$ couplings $\lambda_{ijk}'$ through the process $\mathit{e^{-}+p\rightarrow\widetilde{b^{*}}\rightarrow\mu^{-}+\bar{q}}$ where $\mathit{q}$ denotes the up type quarks. It is shown that constraints on $\lambda_{ijk}'$ can be improved up to 10^{-3} for 1\: fb^{-1} integrated luminosity at 95% C.L. with 60 GeV $\mathit{e^{-}}$ beam option of the LHeC.
