SUSY signals with small and large trilinear couplings at the LHC 7 TeV runs and neutralino dark matter

Understand

We propose the signal $1b+1l+N_j+\etslash$ along with appropriate selection criteria for the LHC 7 TeV run, where the number of jets $(N_j)$ is $\ge$ 2 or 4.

• These signals can complement the canonical $Jets + \etslash$ signature since they are sensitive to the trilinear soft breaking parameter $(A_0)$ and low values of the parameter tan$\beta$ in the minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) model.
• A large region of this mSUGRA parameter space within the reach of the ongoing experiments at the LHC is disfavoured by the bound on the lightest Higgs boson mass ($m_h \ge 114.4 $ GeV) unless $A_0$ has moderate to large negative values.
• Interestingly this parameter space with $A_0 \ne 0$ is also consistent with the observed dark matter relic density.
