Detecting a Light Gravitino at Linear Collider to Probe the SUSY Breaking Scale

If supersymmetry is dynamically broken at a low scale ($M_{susy}$), within a few orders of magnitude of the weak scale, then the lightest supersymmetric partner is the gravitino and the next to lightest supersymmetric partner is a neutralino $χ^0_1$ with mass $m_{χ^0_1}$, which can decay into a photon ($γ$) plus a gravitino ($\widetilde{G}$). We study the detection of $e^{-}e^{+}\rightarrow χ^0_1 χ^0_1 \rightarrow γ\widetilde{G}γ\widetilde{G}$ at the proposed Linear Collider, and find the range of the parameters $M_{susy}$ and $m_{χ^0_1}$ that can be accessible with a right-hand polarized electron beam at $\sqrt{S}=500$\,GeV, with 50\,${\rm fb}^{-1}$ integrated luminosity. We also discuss briefly the accessible range for current electron and hadron colliders.

Studying Anomalous $WWγ$ and $WWZ$ Couplings with Polarized $p\bar{p}$ Collisions

We calculate tree-level cross-sections for $W^{+}γ$ and $W^{+}W^{-}$ production in proton-antiproton collisions, with one $W$ decaying to leptons, with anomalous electroweak triple-boson coupling parameters $Δκ$ and $λ$. We compare the unpolarized cross-sections to those for a polarized proton beam, to study how a polarized proton beam would improve experimental tests of anomalous couplings.
