Search for Charginos Nearly Mass-Degenerate with the Lightest Neutralino Based on a Disappearing-Track Signature in pp Collisions at √s = 8 TeV

Search for Charginos Nearly Mass-Degenerate with the Lightest Neutralino Based on a Disappearing-Track Signature in pp Collisions at √s = 8 TeV / by Shingo Kazama.

 In this book, the anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking (AMSB) model is explored by searching for charged winos with their subsequent decays collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The author develops a new method, called “re-tracking,” to detect charged winos that d...
