A re-interpretation of √s=8 TeV ATLAS results on electroweak supersymmetry production to explore general gauge mediated models

Research output: Working paper

Abstract

This document determines the constraints placed by the ATLAS experiment on general gauge mediated (GGM) supersymmetric models. The GGM parameters are chosen in such a way that the constraints from the observed Higgs mass are satisfied. Three varied parameters (μ, M2 and tanβ) determine the phenomenology at the LHC, featuring the lightest wino-higgsino mixture neutralinos and charginos decaying to the gravitino and W, Z, Higgs bosons or photons. Constraints from existing ATLAS searches using the full Run 1 dataset of 20.3 fb−1 at √s=8TeV and targeting a variety of final states with multiple leptons or photons are evaluated. Results of different analyses are statistically combined, providing stringent limits on the three theoretical parameters.
