Soft and displaced tracks in searches for compressed Higgsinos at the CMS experimentSamuel Bein, Viktor Kutzner, Yuval Nissan, Peter Schleper, Alexandra Tews, and •Moritz Wolf — Universität Hamburg

Many supersymmetric extensions to the Standard Model predict the three lightest electroweakinos, χ20, χ1± and χ10, to be Higgsino-like with similar masses around the electroweak scale. The lightest chargino and the second-lightest neutralino can be pair-produced and decay to the lightest neutralino. To search for these particles, the best strategy depends on the differences between their masses. For Δ m20, χ10) > O(1)   GeV lepton pairs from the decay of the second-lightest neutralino leave an experimentally distinct signature, whereas Δ m1±, χ10) < 0.3   GeV leads to the chargino in some cases giving rise to a disappearing track or a soft displaced pion. However, mass splittings in the range of Δ m1±, χ10) = 0.3 − 1   GeV are still unexplored by either of those methods.

This study describes how a mono-jet analysis can be made more sensitive to Higgsinos with mass splittings in this range by requiring a soft and displaced track in the event corresponding to the pion originating from the chargino decay.
