Lepton Energy Asymmetry and Precision SUSY study at Hadron Colliders

Abstract

We study the distribution of lepton pairs from the second lightest neutralino decay \tildeχ^0_2-->\tilde{l}l followed by \tilde{l}\to \tildeχ^0_1 l. The distribution of the ratio of lepton transverse momenta A_T shows peak structure if m_{ll}< m^{max}_{ll}/2 is required. The peak position A_T^{peak} is described by a simple function of the ino and slepton masses in the m_{ll}\sim 0 limit. When a moderate m_{ll} cut is applied, A_T^{peak} depends on the \tildeχ^0_2 velocity distribution, but the dependence would be corrected by studying the lepton P_T distribution. A_T^{peak} and the edge of m_{ll} distributions are used to determine the mass parameters involved in the decay for parameters of interest to LHC experiments. For some cases the ino and slepton masses may be determined within 10% by the lepton distribution only independent of model assumptions. Correct combinations of A_{T}^{peak} and m_{ll}^{edge} would be identified even if different \tildeχ^0_2 decay chains are co-existing. The analysis could be extended to the Tevatron energy scale or other cascade decays.
