Updated templates for the interpretation of LHC results on supersymmetry
in the context of mSUGRA    [PDF]

K. Matchev, R. Remington

In this short note, we describe the preparation of updated templates for the interpretation of SUSY results from the LHC in the context of mSUGRA. The standard (m_0,m_{1/2}) plane is shown for fixed mu > 0 and m_t = 173.2 GeV. Two scenarios are considered: (1) A_0 = 0 GeV and tan(beta)=10 and (2) A_0 = -500 GeV and tan(beta)=40. In each case, the universal scalar mass parameter m_0 varies in the range [40,3000] GeV, while the universal gaugino mass parameter m_{1/2} varies in the range [100,1000] GeV. We delineate notable regions in parameter space, including the region with a charged LSP (stau), the LEP2 reach, and the cosmologically preferred region with 100% neutralino dark matter. The templates also show mass contours for a few key particles (gluino, squark and Higgs boson). The mass spectrum is calculated with the SoftSusy-3.2.4 package, while the neutralino relic density is obtained with MicrOMEGAs version 2.4.
