Recent convergence in Beyond the SM scenarios
Need to avoid constraints from loop contributions to low energy processes and LEP analyses
pair production of new states
Minimal Universal Extra DimensionsKK-parity in

Spectra of new states expected to be quite different in different models
BUT at LHC only a fraction of the entire spectrum may be identified.
One feature of SUSY --- multiple Higgs boson statesmultiple Higgs boson states that may be singly produced in addition to the pair-produced sparticles
(spins also differ)
(spin may be hard to determine at LHC)

MSSM Point A“maverick events”
These events are not expected within out neutralino-only framework for predicting Wedgebox plots
Study of the detailed HERWIG output for such generated events confirmed that leptons in these events come from charginos

Fact : rates of getting via direct production are extremely small0 02 2
Next consider the electroweak production processes
Use jet cut to remove cascade decays from gluino/squark pair production (or make colored sparticles very heavy)

coupling suppressed
Only one pair combination, can lead to an appreciable rate
(sufficient to adequately populate a wedgebox plot)
Other pairs are too phase-space suppressed

Comments:
In regions of upper island where double wedge is seen, will be able to extract 3 mass differences with reasonable precision.This will allow determination of the 3 input parameters of the neutralino mixing matrix if the slepton parameter(s) are under control.
2 , , and tanM
0 02 3 Direct production produces a wedge
Slepton pair production also produces wedgesCharginos can produce boxes, but only for low 2 &M
(lower island)
If one observes a box in the experimental wedgebox plot, then either one has seen evidence of a heavier Higgs boson or are both rather small.
2 &M An (almost) parameter-space independent statement.
ConclusionsLet me go!!!
Have shown can extract substantial information on the MSSM –ino mass spectrum
But beware of assuming hard edges = -ino mass differences
Sleptons must also be considered as key playersITP
2006.11.7
Wedgebox plots:
Heavier MSSM Higgs boson search techniques via decays to SM particles inadequate
Full consideration of Higgs boson decays into sparticles makes accessible large new regions of the MSSM parameter space

2-D plots give quick visual impression of which –ino pairs are being significantly produced
Obvious advantages over traditional 1-D plots ITP 2006.11.7
e e Undoubtedly, will still require a ~TeV scale linear collider to fully sort things out and do better precision measurements.
…but that may well take
another years to be realized.ITP 2006.11.7
The topology or pattern of the wedgebox plot maymay tell us where we are in the parameter space and whether or not heavy Higgs bosons are being produced.
Parameter-space dependent cuts may then be applied to purify a sample of 4 lepton events from a specific process.
Potential applicability of this methodology to other beyond the SM scenarios with conserved Q.#’s that demand pair production of a spectrum of new particles
The End

MUED’s Minimal universal extra dimensions
All SM fields propagate in a single compactified extra dimension
with compactification radius near the TeV scale
All SM particles have KK partners with similar couplings
The lowest KK level particles carry a conserved quantum numberKK-parity
The lightest KK particle is the stable LKP
The LKP is not detected, resulting in a missing energy signal.
(lowest energy states in the Kaluza-Klein towers)
Sounds a lot like the MSSM, no?
First consider something that is NOTNOT supersymmetry ---
H.-C. Cheng, Matchev & Schmaltz hep-ph/0205314
Distinctions between the MSSM and MUED’s
Sparticles have different spins from their SM partnerswhile KK particles have the same spin
This would certainly be testable at a LC, but at the LHC maybe not
There is no analog to the heavier MSSM Higgs bosons
The KK partners to the Higgs carry KK-parity, and so should be pair produced (behaving more like Higgsinos than like Higgs bosons)
Smillie & Webber hep-ph/0507171
Barr, hep-ph/0405052limited attempts:
So we see detection of the heavier MSSM Higgs bosons
is crucial for even being sure that we are seeing
