  • Search for Charginos Nearly Mass-Degenerate with the Lightest Neutralino

    Based on a Disappearing-Track Signature in pp Collisions at √s = 8 TeV

    by Shingo Kazama ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    In this book, the anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking (AMSB) model is explored by searching for charged winos with their subsequent decays collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).The author develops a new method, called “re-tracking,” to detect charged winos that decay before reaching the Semiconductor Tracker (SCT) detector. Because the nominal tracking algorithm ... Read more
