2. SUSY and Higgs discovery reviewed –Reach, channels Focus on some recent work: –Determination of higgs v.e.v. ratio (tan  ) –SUSY spin measurement –Mixed Higgs + SUSY cascade decays Discovery and measurement of: –Higgs sector of MSSM –SUSY partners of SM particles Outline

5. fb -1 1 year @10 33 1 month @10 33 1 year @10 34 SM-like higgs discovery ATLAS Values for single experiment h →  requires excellent low-p T lepton + tau jet trigger time

6. h: Number of observable final states 1 channel 2 channels 3 channels 4 channels 5 channels several channels observable  allows parameter determination ? 300 fb -1 Excluded by LEP Suppressed b,  Suppressed g coupling Conservative in tan 

7. Heavy neutral higgs (H,A)

8. Measuring tan  For large (>5) tan  –b Yukawa dominates  –   tan 2  –Measure  –Compare to NLO Ratio of v.e.v.s of the 2 MSSM Higgs doublets Important for understanding EWSB ~

9. Errors dominated by theoretical uncertainty on NLO cross-section With signal discovery at 5σ, tan  measurable to 35%. Measuring tan  (2) N.B. , M 2 kept fixed here

10. Charged higgs production/decay Associated production with t and b quarks Decay H± → –Very complicated final state! –Combinatorial BG Also H± →   –BR decreases as m A increases ~6 jet + lepton + missing energy SM background uncertain?

11. When H+ is close to top mass: –H + -> tb or –t -> H + b Revised analyses in progress ATLAS Charged higgs

12. Overall Discovery Potential: 300 fb -1  Can we distinguish between SM and extended Higgs sectors by parameter measurements? ATLAS Whole plane covered for at least one Higgs Large wedge area (intermediate tan  ) where only h is observed No direct evidence for higgs beyond SM

13. SM or Extended Higgs Sectors? First look using rate measurements from VBF channels (30fb -1 ) R = BR(h  ) BR(h  WW) =| R MSSM -R SM | exp  only statistical errors considered  assumes Higgs mass exactly known Deviation from SM expectation potential for discrimination seems promising! ATLAS

14. Searching for SUSY If SUSY was exact we’d have seen it already Variety of ways to induce SUSY masses: –Minimal super-gravity (mSUGRA) –Anomaly mediated SUSY breaking (AMSB) –Gauge mediated SUSY breaking (GMSB) Experimental emphasis is on building general toolkit of techniques based on types of signatures of above Generally search reach ~2 TeV.

15. Finial discovery limit ~ 2.5 TeV squark or gluino Initially will be limited by detector uncertainties, not SUSY stats! Also need to understand SM backgrounds SUSY Discovery - mSUGRA Scalar mass term Gaugino mass term

18. SUSY SPIN @ LHC SUSY particles have spin differing by ½ from SM “Discovering SUSY” means measuring spins of new particles Possible at LHC? Investigation of mSUGRA “Point 5” Spin-½, mostly wino Spin-0 Spin-½ Spin-0 Spin-½, mostly bino Final state = jet + l + + l - + E T ( + decay of other sparticle) Polarise Measure Angle (or inv mass) Chiral coupling Similar technique allows measurement of tan  from muon/electron asymmetry

19. l+l+ l-l- parton-level -> Measure spin-1/2 nature of neutralino-2 -> Also can measure scalar nature of slepton -> Success at several distinct points in parameter space detector-level Lepton+jet invariant mass Charge asymmetry, spin-0 Events SUSY spin – observable distributions ATLAS

22. H 0, A 0 -> SUSY -> leptons hep-ph/0303095

23. SUSY -> light higgs Region of parameter space where h is discoverable ~ cosmological “bulk region” CMS note 2003-033 for summary

24. H ± -> SUSY Harder! Works in restricted area of , M 2 space Complements tau, tb analysis. hep-ph/0303093 H    2,3 0  1,2   3l + E T miss

25. Conclusions (1) LHC SUSY and Higgs search strategies well developed –Constantly being reviewed / developed New techniques in Higgs sector –Production via Vector Boson Fusion Improves reach for MSSM benchmarks –Couplings if only lightest higgs accessible Infer non-SM Higgs sector –Measurement of tan 

26. Conclusions (2) New SUSY techniques –Lepton asymmetry Charge -> spin determination Flavour -> tan  –Full likelihood event reconstruction 3 rd generation squarks + heavy gauginos –(not covered in this talk) Combined SUSY + Higgs –Complimentary to standard Higgs searches –Could help dis-entangle complex SUSY chains Much work going on for trigger, calibration, systematics.
