Probing compressed mass spectra in electroweak supersymmetry with Recursive Jigsaw Reconstruction by M. Santoni

After presenting prototype analysis designs for future LHC runs, we demonstrate that its detectors have the potential to probe a significant amount of unexplored parameter space for chargino-neutralino associated production within the next few years, and show that the very challenging successful search for chargino pair production with compressed spectra might be possible by the end of the LHC lifetime.…”
