Resonant Slepton Production

TL;DR

This paper investigates the production of resonant sleptons through R-parity Violation, analyzing their decay signatures and setting bounds on R-parity Violating couplings based on collider data.

Contribution

It introduces a novel analysis of resonant slepton production with R-parity Violation and provides experimental bounds on the couplings and masses involved.

Findings

Background at run II is approximately 0.14 events.

Probes R-parity Violating couplings down to 2.10^-3 at 100 GeV.

Can explore slepton masses up to 300 GeV for couplings of 10^-2.

Abstract

We consider the production of resonant sleptons via R-parity Violation followed by gauge decays to a charged lepton and a neutralino which then decays via R-parity Violation. This gives a signature of two like-sign charged leptons. We find a background at run II of 0.14 +/- 0.13 events with an integrated luminosity of 2 fb^-1. This enables us to probe R-parity Violating couplings of 2.10^-3 for slepton mass of 100 GeV and up to slepton masses of 300 GeV for R-parity Violating couplings of 10^-2.
