Abstract

We analyse the events with two same-flavour, opposite-sign leptons + ETmissE_T^{miss} + (jets) as expected in pp collisions at LHC within the framework of the minimal Supergravity Model. The objective is the determination of the parameters m_0 and m_{1/2} of this model (for a given value of tanβ\tan\beta). The signature l+l+ETmissl^+ l^- + E_T^{miss} + (jets) selects the leptonic decays of χ~20\tilde{\chi}^0_2, χ~20χ~10l+l\tilde{\chi}^0_2 \to \tilde{\chi}^0_1 l^+ l^- , χ~20l~L,R±lχ~10l+l\tilde{\chi}^0_2 \to \tilde{l}_{L,R}^{\pm} l^{\mp} \to \tilde{\chi}^0_1 l^+ l^-. We exploit the fact that the invariant dilepton mass distribution has a pronounced structure with a sharp edge at the kinematical endpoint even in such an inclusive final state over a significant part of parameter space. We determine the domain of parameter space where the edge is expected to be visible. We show that a measurement of this edge already constrains the model parameters essentially to three lines in the (m0,m1/2m_0, m_{1/2}) parameter plane. We work out a strategy to discriminate between the three-body leptonic decays of χ~20\tilde{\chi}^0_2 and the decays into sleptons l~L,R\tilde{l}_{L,R}. This procedure may make it possible to get information on SUSY particle masses already with low luminosity, L_{int}=10^3 pb^{-1}.
