Reconstructing Supersymmetric Theories by Coherent LHC / LC Analyses

TL;DR

This paper discusses how combined analyses at the LHC and future linear colliders can reconstruct supersymmetric theories, specifically exploring the breaking mechanism and high-energy origins like grand unification.

Contribution

It demonstrates a method for coherent LHC and LC analyses to reconstruct supersymmetric theories, exemplified with minimal supergravity at a specific reference point.

Findings

Combined analyses can determine supersymmetry breaking mechanisms.

Reconstruction of high-energy theories like grand unification is feasible.

Simulations show detailed experimental prospects at Snowmass SPS1a.

Abstract

Supersymmetry analyses will potentially be a central area for experiments at the LHC and at a future e+ e- linear collider. Results from the two facilities will mutually complement and augment each other so that a comprehensive and precise picture of the supersymmetric world can be developed. We will demonstrate in this report how coherent analyses at LHC and LC experiments can be used to explore the breaking mechanism of supersymmetry and to reconstruct the fundamental theory at high energies, in particular at the grand unification scale. This will be exemplified for minimal supergravity in detailed experimental simulations performed for the Snowmass reference point SPS1a.
