Abstract

Supersymmetric scenarios with inverted mass hierarchy can be hard to observe at a hadron collider, particularly in the nonstrongly interacting sector. We show how the production of stau pairs via gauge boson fusion, along with hard jets in the high rapidity region, can be instrumental in uncovering the signatures of such scenarios. We demonstrate this both in a model-independent way and with reference to some specific, well-motivated models.
