Reaching for Squarks and Gauginos at a 100 TeV p-p Collider

TL;DR

This paper evaluates the potential of a 100 TeV proton-proton collider to discover squarks and gauginos through associated production, projecting significant mass reach for supersymmetric particles with high luminosity.

Contribution

It provides the first detailed analysis of the discovery prospects for squarks and gauginos at a 100 TeV collider via associated production channels.

Findings

Squarks could be discovered up to 37 TeV for compressed spectra.

Winos could be discovered up to 6 TeV depending on parameters.

Binos could be discovered up to 1.7 TeV.

Abstract

We analyse the prospect of extending the reach for squarks and gauginos via associated production at a $\sqrt{s} = 100$ TeV proton-proton collider, given 3 ab$^{-1}$ integrated luminosity. Depending on the gluino mass, the discovery reach for squarks in associated production with a gluino can be up to 37 TeV for compressed spectra (small gluino-LSP mass splitting), and up to 32 TeV for non-compressed spectra. The discovery reach for Winos can be up to between 3.5 and 6 TeV depending on squark masses and Wino decay kinematics. Binos of up to 1.7 TeV could similarly be discovered. Squark-gaugino associated production could prove to be the discovery mode for supersymmetry at a 100 TeV collider in a large region of parameter space.
