Possible sneutrino-pair signatures with R-parity breaking

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-09-01 v1

Abstract

If sneutrinos are the lightest supersymmetry partners and RR-parity is not conserved, the process e+eνˉ~ν~e^+e^- \to \tilde {\bar\nu} \tilde {\nu} can have striking signatures due to the decay modes ν~+\tilde{\nu}\to\ell^+\ell'^- or ν~qqˉ\tilde{\nu}\to q \bar q'. We present cross section formulas and discuss event rates and detection at the upgraded e+ee^+e^- collider LEP. Four-lepton signals should be detectable up to sneutrino mass m~ν=80\tilde {m}_\nu = 80 GeV and maybe beyond; four-jet signals should be detectable up to m~ν=70\tilde {m}_\nu = 70 GeV, but would probably be obscured thereafter by WWWW background.
