SUSY Discovery Potential and Benchmarks for Early Runs at $\sqrt s =7$ TeV at the LHC
Abstract
We carry out an analysis of the potential of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to discover supersymmetry in runs at TeV with an accumulated luminosity of (0.1--2) fb of data. The analysis is done both with minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) and supergravity (SUGRA) models with non-universal soft breaking. Benchmarks for early discovery with (0.1--2) fb of data are given. We provide an update of b-tagging efficiencies in PGS 4 appropriate for LHC analyses. A large number of signature channels are analyzed and it is shown that each of the models exhibited are discoverable at the 5 level or more above the standard model background in several signature channels which would provide cross checks for a discovery of supersymmetry (SUSY). It is shown that some of the benchmarks are discoverable with 0.1 fb of data again with detectable signals in several channels.
