Abstract
In SUSY models with heavy squarks and gaugino mass unification, the gaugino pair production reaction dominates gluino pair production for at LHC with (LHC14). For this mass range, the two-body decays and are expected to dominate the chargino and neutralino branching fractions. By searching for events from production, we show that LHC14 with of integrated luminosity becomes sensitive to chargino masses in the range corresponding to in models with gaugino mass unification. For , LHC14 is sensitive to the channel for , corresponding to , which is comparable to the reach for gluino pair production followed by cascade decays. The search channel opens up a new complementary avenue for SUSY searches at LHC, and serves to point to SUSY as the origin of any new physics discovered via multijet and multilepton channels.
