The left-right supersymmetric option at a high-energy upgrade of the LHC
Santosh Kumar Rai, et al
We investigate the possibility that a minimal realization of left-right supersymmetry can be reachable at a high-energy upgrade of the LHC, expected to operate at a center-of-mass energy of 27 TeV. This minimal scenario has a relatively light SU(2)R doubly-charged Higgs boson, which could decay dominantly into tau-lepton pairs. We explore the associated signals comprised of at least three hadronically-decaying taus, or with at least two hadronic taus and one same-sign-same-flavor charged lepton pair. Our analysis shows that the former signature is challenging to use for getting handles on the signal due to the large corresponding background, and that the latter one can lead to a handful of new physics events in an almost background-free environment. We find that the first signal is more promising and likely to be observed at an early stage of the operations of a 27 TeV upgrade of the LHC.
