Pure general gauge mediation for early LHC searches

Abstract

We present benchmark points for Pure General Gauge Mediation (GGM) models specifically optimised for early LHC searches. The pure GGM set-up is as defined in our previous paper arXiv:0910.2674: namely we adopt the minimal set-up in which Bμ is generated only through gauge interactions, and as a result tan β is a prediction rather than an input. The only input parameters are messenger masses together with two independent scales which generate gaugino and scalar masses. The parameter space favoured by current experimental data includes an interesting region with light gluinos ($$ {m_{\tilde{g}}} $$ ≲ 500 GeV and relatively heavy squarks) and a bino-like NLSP where early discove..
