SUSY Discovery Potential and Benchmarks for Early Runs at $\sqrt s =7$ TeV at the LHC

Understand

We carry out an analysis of the potential of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to discover supersymmetry in runs at $\sqrt s=7$ TeV with an accumulated luminosity of (0.1--2) fb$^{-1}$ of data.

• The analysis is done both with minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) and supergravity (SUGRA) models with non-universal soft breaking.
• Benchmarks for early discovery with (0.1--2) fb$^{-1}$ of data are given.
• We provide an update of b-tagging efficiencies in PGS 4 appropriate for LHC analyses.
