Inclusive transverse mass analysis for squark and gluino mass determination

Understand

We propose an inclusive analysis of a stransverse mass (m_{T2}) using a hemisphere method for supersymmetry studies at the LHC .

• The hemisphere method is an algorithm to group collinear and high p_T particles and jets, assuming that there are two of such groups in a event.
• The m_{T2} is defined as a function of the unknown LSP mass, two hemisphere momenta, and missing transverse momentum.
• The kinematical end point of the m_{T2} distribution provides information on the squark and gluino masses.
