Abstract

We propose a new search strategy for higgsinos. Assuming associated production of higgsino-like pairs with a WW or ZZ boson, we search in the missing energy plus hadronically-tagged vector boson channel. We place sensitivity limits for (HL-)LHC searches assuming O(13.5 GeV)\mathcal{O}({1\mathrm{-}3.5}~\mathrm{GeV}) mass differences between the lightest neutral and charged states. We point out that using the ETmissE_T^\mathrm{miss} distribution significantly increases the sensitivity of this search. We find the higgsinos up to 110 (210) GeV can be excluded with 139 (300) fb1139~(300)~\mathrm{fb}^{-1} data. The full data of the HL-LHC will exclude (discover) the higgsinos up to 520 (280) GeV.
