Can Flavor Physics Hint at Distinctive Signals for R-parity Violation at the LHC?

Understand

Observation of some low-energy processes in the flavor physics regime may require the existence of supersymmetry with two relatively large R-parity-violating couplings of the LQD-type, together with reasonably light superparticles.

• At the LHC, such interactions would be expected to give rise to clear signals with convenient leptonic triggers, including some multileptons of the same sign.
• We undertake a detailed investigation of these signals taking care to correlate with low-energy requirements and taking proper account of the Standard Model backgrounds as well as the R-parity-conserving sector of the supersymmetric model.
• We find clear indications that R-parity violation as envisaged in this scenario can be detected at the LHC - even, perhaps, in the early runs.
