Sgluons in the same-sign lepton searches

TL;DR

This paper interprets ATLAS same-sign lepton searches to set limits on sgluon particles, showing current data already exclude sgluons up to 0.95 TeV, with future prospects discussed.

Contribution

It provides the first reinterpretation of ATLAS data for sgluon searches in the 4-top quark production channel.

Findings

Current data exclude sgluons up to 0.95 TeV

Run 2 data is already competitive with Run 1

Future data could improve exclusion limits

Abstract

In this work I present the interpretation of the ATLAS search of same-sign lepton production in association with $b$-jets in the context of the 4-top quark signal from sgluon decays. I show that using just 3.2/fb data sample from Run 2 the exclusion limit is already competitive with the Run 1 one. Public data allow to exclude sgluons with masses up to 0.95 TeV. Prospects for the total Run 2 integrated luminosity of 100/fb are briefly discussed.
