Determining the parameters of the minimal supergravity model from2l+ETmiss+(jets)final states at CERN LHC

Abstract
We analyze the events with two same-flavor, oppositesignleptons+ETmiss+(jets) as expected in pp collisions at the CERN LHC within the framework of the minimal supergravity model. The objective is the determination of the parameters m0 and m1/2 of this model (for a given value of tanβ). The signature l+l+ETmiss+(jets) selects the leptonic decays χ̃20χ̃10l+l, χ̃20lL,R±lχ̃10l+l of χ̃20, produced in g̃/q̃ decays. We exploit the fact that the invariant dilepton mass distribution has a pronounced structure with a sharp edge at the kinematical end point even in such an inclusive final state over a significant part of parameter space. We determine the domain of parameter space where the edge is expected to be visible. We show that a measurement of this edge already constrains the model parameters essentially to three lines in the (m0,m1/2) parameter plane. We work out a strategy to discriminate between the three-body leptonic decays of χ̃20 and the decays into sleptons lL,R. This procedure may make it possible to get information on SUSY particle masses already with low luminosity, Lint=103pb1.
