The Ultra-High Jet Multiplicity Signal of Stringy No-Scale F-SU(5) at the \sqrt{s} = 7 TeV LHC

Abstract

We present the distinctive collider signatures of No-Scale F-SU(5), a highly efficient and phenomenologically favored model built on the tripodal foundations of the F-lipped SU(5) X U(1)_X Grand Unified Theory, extra F-theory derived TeV scale vector-like particle multiplets, and the dynamic high scale boundary conditions of No-Scale Supergravity. The identifying features of the supersymmetric spectrum are a light stop and gluino, with both sparticles much lighter than all the additional squarks. This unique mass hierarchy leads to the enhanced production of events with an ultra-high multiplicity of hadronic jets which should be clearly visible to the \sqrt{s} = 7 TeV LHC at only 1 inverse fb of integrated luminosity. We suggest a modest alternative event cutting procedure based around a reduced minimal transverse momentum per jet (p_T > 20 GeV), and an increased minimal multiplicity (>= 9) of distinct jets per subscribed event. These criteria optimize the F-SU(5) signal to background ratio, while readily suppressing the contribution of all Standard Model processes, allowing moreover a clear differentiation from competing models of new physics, most notably minimal supergravity. The characteristic No-Scale signature is quite stable across the viable parameter space, modulo an overall rescaling of the mass spectrum; Detection by the LHC of the ultra-high jet signal would constitute a suggestive evocation of the intimately linked stringy origins of F-SU(5), and could possibly provide a glimpse into the underlying structure of the fundamental string moduli.
