Abstract

As we anticipate the first results of the 2016 run, we assess the discovery potential of the LHC to “natural supersymmetry.” To begin with, we explore the region of the model parameter space that can be excluded with various center-of-mass energies (13 TeV and 14 TeV) and different luminosities (20fb1, 100fb1, 300fb1 and 3000fb1). We find that the bounds at 95% C.L. on stops vary from mt˜1800GeV expected this summer to mt˜11500GeV at the end of the high luminosity run, while gluino bounds are expected to range from mg˜1700GeV to mg˜2500GeV over the same time period. However, more pessimistically, we find that if no signal begins to appear this summer, only a very small region of parameter space can be discovered with 5σ significance. For this conclusion to change, we find that both theoretical and systematic uncertainties will need to be significantly reduced.
