In SUSY models with heavy squarks and gaugino mass unification, the gaugino pair production reaction pp-> tw_1^pmtz_2 dominates gluino pair production for m_{tg}agt 1 TeV at LHC with sqrt{s}=14 TeV (LHC14). For this mass range, the two-body decays tw_1to Wtz_1 and tz_2to htz_1 are expected to dominate the chargino and neutralino branching fractions. By searching for ell bbar{b}+MET events from tw_1^pmtz_2 production, we show that LHC14 with 100 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity becomes sensitive to chargino masses in the range m_{tw_1}sim 450-550 GeV corresponding to m_{tg}sim 1.5-2 TeV in models with gaugino mass unification. For 10^3 fb^{-1}, LHC14 is sensitive to the Wh channel for m_{tw_1}sim 300-800 GeV, corresponding to m_{tg}sim 1-2.8 TeV, which is comparable to the reach for gluino pair production followed by cascade decays. The Wh+MET search channel opens up a new complementary avenue for SUSY searches at LHC, and serves to point to SUSY as the origin of any new physics discovered via multijet and multilepton + MET channels.

We study methods of extracting new physics signals in final states with a top-quark pair plus large missing energy at the LHC. We consider two typical examples of such new physics: pair production of a fermionic top partner (a $T$ in Little Higgs models for example) and of a scalar top partner (a $tilde{t}$ in SUSY). With a commonly-adopted discrete symmetry under which non Standard Model particles are odd, the top partner is assumed to decay predominantly to a top quark plus a massive neutral stable particle $A^0$. We focus on the case in which one of the top quarks decays leptonically and the other decays hadronically, $pp to {tt} A^0A^0 X to bj_1j_2 bar bell^- bar u A^0A^0 X + c.c.$, where the $A^0$s escape detection. We identify a key parameter for the signal observation: the mass splitting between the top partner and the missing particle. We reconstruct a transverse mass for the lepton-missing transverse energy system to separate the real $W$ background from the signal and propose a definition for the reconstructed top quark mass that allows it to take unphysical values as an indication of new physics. We perform a scan over the two masses to map out the discovery reach at the LHC in this channel. We also comment on the possibility of distinguishing between scalar and fermionic top partners using collider signatures.
We present a calculation of higgsino and gaugino pair production at the LHC at next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (NNLL) accuracy, matched to approximate next-to-next-to-leading order (aNNLO) QCD corrections. We briefly review the formalism for the resummation of large threshold logarithms and highlight the analytical results required at aNNLO+NNLO accuracy. Our numerical results are found to depend on the mass and nature of the produced charginos and neutralinos. The differential and total cross sections for light higgsinos, which like sleptons are produced mostly at small x and in the s-channel, are found to be again moderately increased with respect to our previous results. The differential and total cross sections for gauginos are, however, not increased any more due to the fact that gauginos, like squarks, are now constrained by ATLAS and CMS to be heavier than about 1 TeV, so that also t- and u-channels play an important role. The valence quarks probed at large x then also induce substantially different cross sections for positively and negatively charged gauginos. The higgsino and gaugino cross sections are both further stabilized at aNNLO+NNLL with respect to the variation of renormalization and factorization scales. We also now take mixing in the squark sector into account and study the dependence of the total cross sections on the squark and gluino masses as well as the trilinear coupling controlling the mixing in particular in the sbottom sector.
We present precise predictions for the production of a Higgs boson in association with a hadronic jet and a $mathrm{W}$ boson at hadron colliders. The behaviour of QCD corrections are studied for fiducial cross sections and distributions of the charged gauge boson and jet-related observables. The inclusive process (at least one resolved jet) and the exclusive process (exactly one resolved jet) are contrasted and discussed. The inclusion of QCD corrections up to $mathcal{O}(alpha_{text{s}}^3)$ leads to a clear stabilisation of the predictions and contributes substantially to a reduction of remaining theoretical uncertainties.
We perform a threshold resummation calculation for the associated production of gluinos and gauginos at the LHC to the next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. Analytical results are presented for the process-dependent soft anomalous dimension and the hard function. The resummed results are matched to a full next-to-leading order calculation, for which we have generalised the previously known results to the case of supersymmetric scenarios featuring non-universal squark masses. Numerically, the next-to-leading logarithmic contributions increase the total next-to-leading order cross section by 7 to 20% for central scale choices and gluino masses of 3 to 6 TeV, respectively, and reduce its scale dependence typically from up to $pm12$% to below $pm3$%.
Gaugino AMSB models-- wherein scalar and trilinear soft SUSY breaking terms are suppressed at the GUT scale while gaugino masses adopt the AMSB form-- yield a characteristic SUSY particle mass spectrum with light sleptons along with a nearly degenerate wino-like lightest neutralino and quasi-stable chargino. The left- sleptons and sneutrinos can be pair produced at sufficiently high rates to yield observable signals at the Fermilab Tevatron. We calculate the rate for isolated single and dilepton plus missing energy signals, along with the presence of one or two highly ionizing chargino tracks. We find that Tevatron experiments should be able to probe gravitino masses into the ~55 TeV range for inoAMSB models, which corresponds to a reach in gluino mass of over 1100 GeV.
