Abstract: (Elsevier)
We analyze a multi-lepton signal plus missing transverse energy from neutrinos expected at the LHC for a bino-like neutralino as the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP), when the left sneutrino is the next-to-LSP and hence a suitable source of binos. The discussion is carried out in the framework of the μν SSM, where the presence of R -parity violating (RPV) couplings involving right-handed neutrinos solves the μ problem and can reproduce simultaneously the neutrino data. Left sneutrinos/sleptons are pair-produced at pp collisions decaying to binos, with the latter decaying via RPV to Wℓ or Zν . This signal can be compared with LHC searches for electroweak superpartners through chargino–neutralino production. The reduced cross section of the sneutrino/slepton production in comparison with the one of the latter process, limits the sensitivity of the searches to small sneutrino/slepton masses. Although the resulting compressed spectrum typically evades the aforementioned searches, we show that analyses using recursive jigsaw reconstruction are sensitive to these scenarios. As a by-product, we find that the region of bino masses 110–120 GeV and sneutrino masses 120–140 GeV can give rise to a tri-lepton signal compatible with the local excess recently reported by ATLAS.Note:
