Abstract

In the semi-constrained NMSSM (scNMSSM, or NMSSM with non-universal Higgs mass) under current constraints, we consider a scenario where h2h_2 is the SM-like Higgs, χ~10\tilde{\chi}^0_1 is singlino-dominated LSP, χ~1±\tilde{\chi}^{\pm}_1 and χ~2,30\tilde{\chi}^0_{2,3} are mass-degenerated, light and higgsino-dominated NLSPs (next-to-lightest supersymmetric particles). We investigate the constraints to these NLSPs from searching for SUSY particles at the LHC Run-I and Run-II, discuss the possibility of discovering these NLSPs in the future, and come to the following conclusions: (i) With all data of Run I and up to 36 fb1\rm fb^{-1} data of Run II at the LHC, the search results by ATLAS and CMS can still not exclude the higgsino-dominated NLSPs of 100200100\sim200 GeV. (ii) When the mass difference with χ~10\tilde{\chi}^0_{1} is smaller than mh2m_{h_2}, χ~20\tilde{\chi}^0_{2} and χ~30\tilde{\chi}^0_{3} have opposite preference on decaying to Z/ZZ/Z^* or h1h_1. (iii) When the mass difference between NLSP and LSP is larger than mZm_Z, most of the samples can be checked at 5σ5\sigma level with future 300 fb1\rm fb^{-1} data at the LHC. While with 3000 fb1\rm fb^{-1} data at the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), nearly all of the samples can be checked at 5σ5\sigma level even if the mass difference is insufficient. (iv) The a1a_1 funnel and the h2/Zh_2/Z funnel mechanisms for the singlino-dominated LSP annihilating can not be distinguished by searching for NLSPs.
