Abstract

We analyse the prospect of extending the reach for squarks and gauginos via associated production at a s=100\sqrt{s} = 100 TeV proton-proton collider, given 3 ab1^{-1} integrated luminosity. Depending on the gluino mass, the discovery reach for squarks in associated production with a gluino can be up to 37 TeV for compressed spectra (small gluino-LSP mass splitting), and up to 32 TeV for non-compressed spectra. The discovery reach for Winos can be up to between 3.5 and 6 TeV depending on squark masses and Wino decay kinematics. Binos of up to 1.7 TeV could similarly be discovered. Squark-gaugino associated production could prove to be the discovery mode for supersymmetry at a 100 TeV collider in a large region of parameter space.

7 pages, 5 figures. V2: Corrected an error in background normalisation which resulted in overestimation of reach, particularly in Squark-Wino/Bino production. Statement regarding QCD dijet background added to Appendix. References added
