plusa bit more

MUED’s Minimal universal extra dimensions

All SM fields propagate in a single compactified extra dimension

with compactification radius near the TeV scale

All SM particles have KK partners with similar couplings

The lowest KK level particles carry a conserved quantum numberKK-parity

The lightest KK particle is the stable LKP

The LKP is not detected, resulting in a missing energy signal.

(lowest energy states in the Kaluza-Klein towers)

Sounds a lot like the MSSM, no?

First consider something that is NOTNOT supersymmetry ---

H.-C. Cheng, Matchev & Schmaltz hep-ph/0205314

Distinctions between the MSSM and MUED’s

Sparticles have different spins from their SM partnerswhile KK particles have the same spin

This would certainly be testable at a LC, but at the LHC maybe not

There is no analog to the heavier MSSM Higgs bosons

The KK partners to the Higgs carry KK-parity, and so should be pair produced (behaving more like Higgsinos than like Higgs bosons)

Smillie & Webber hep-ph/0507171

Barr, hep-ph/0405052limited attempts:

So we see detection of the heavier MSSM Higgs bosons

is crucial for even being sure that we are seeing

Need to disentangle these

Production modes:

‘direct’ Higgs-mediated colored-sparticle cascade decays

Rates generally small

Rates may be large if heavier MSSM Higgs bosons

are in the right zone

Largest potential ratesdue to strong production cross-sectionsEspecially if gluinos (and squarks) are relatively light.

Try to find out which decay chains are contributing (and how much each chain contributes) to observed signal in as model-independent a manner as possible.

This is the goal of the Dalitz-esque techniqueThis is the goal of the Dalitz-esque technique

Can be used to confirm or refute assumptions made in using the mass relation method.

Needs far fewer events since it does not relay on end-point determinations so need not adequately fill 2-D space

Also fitting algorithms to whole set of MSSM parameters,But these results are perhaps not so intuitive.

清华大学Concluding remarks

SUSY-decays of heavier Higgs bosons may well be a major discovery channel.

A complete picture of this requires inclusion of all the possible –ino pair decay states, …not just 0 0

2 2 !This may push up the searchable mass range considerably.AM

Discovery of heavier MSSM Higgs bosons is crucial.Discovery of heavier MSSM Higgs bosons is crucial.

Let me go!!! Dalitz-esque technique resurrected for use at the LHC

Have shown can extract substantial information on the MSSM –ino mass spectrum

But beware of assuming hard edges = -ino mass differences

Sleptons must also be considered as key players

Detailed study of the distribution of the events in the various regions of the Dalitz-like plot can also indicate the presence or absence

of squark-induced production modes.

e e Undoubtedly, will still require a ~TeV scale linear collider to fully sort things out and do better precision measurements.
