Abstract

The discovery potential of the LHC is investigated for the minimal anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking (mAMSB) scenario, using the ATLAS fast detector simulator, including track reconstruction and particle identification. Generic supersymmetry search cuts are used to map the 5-sigma (and >=10 event) discovery contours in the m0 - m3/2 plane. With 100 inverse fb of integrated luminosity the search will reach up to 2.8 TeV in the squark mass and 2.1 TeV in the gluino mass. We generalise a kinematical variable and demonstrate that it is sensitive to the small chargino-LSP mass splitting characteristic of AMSB models. By identifying tracks from chargino decays we show that the Wino-like nature of the LSP can be determined for a wide range of chargino lifetimes.
