We consider the resonant production of charged sleptons at the LHC via R-parity violation followed by gauge decays to a charged lepton and a neutralino which then decays via R-parity violation. This gives a signature of two like-sign…
Universal extra dimensions and supersymmetry have rather similar experimental signatures at hadron colliders. The proper interpretation of an LHC discovery in either case may therefore require further data from a lepton collider. In this…
