Reconstruction of Leptons

Lepton has to be isolated from jets

Isolation by tracks: ΣPt< 1.5 GeV in ΔR<0.3

Isolation by calo (muons): ΣEt< 5 GeV in ΔR<0.3

Electron id by likelihood: E/P , H/E , E3x3/E5x5, Δη , σηη

Reconstruction of JET/MET

Signal has small MET due to light LSP and small mass difference Δm(χ20-χ10)

•1/3 of signal evts have ISR

•Large jet multiplicity for ttbar and Z+jets reduce background

Invariant Mass Reconstruction

Different possibilities:

All OSSF combinations-> largest significance

high Pt pairs.good efficiency to the MC tagged pairs.

low Pt pairs difficult – moves Z peak to the signal region

DFOS related to the combinatorial bkg., useless here

Selection Cuts

Offline Selection:

•No central Jets with Et > 30 GeV, η < 2.4

•Two isolated opposite sign same flavour (OSSF) leptons in η < 2.4 with: Pt of muons > 10 GeV

Pt of electrons > 17 GeV

•Invariant mass of leptons below Z-Peak Mll < 75 GeV

•Third isolated lepton Pt > 10 GeV, η < 2.4

Trigger selection (LV1): (Trileptons M0=1450,M1/2=175,tanβ=50)) dimuon stream (Pt > 3 GeV) : ~75%

dielectron stream (Pt > 17 GeV): ~25%

Outlook

• The 5σ trilepton signal from direct neutralino chargino production can be observed for m1/2<200 GeV, m0>1000 GeV in mSUGRA mass plane

• The discovery reach is limited by isolation efficiency of leptons and low missing ET for the signal

• Observation of trilepton signal from gauginos production is complimentary to gluino (squarks) cascade decays and allows to identify region in mSUGRA parameter space
