    In supersymmetric theory, the sfermion-fermion-gaugino interactions conserve the chirality of (s)fermions. The effect appears as the charge asymmetry in m(jl)m(jl) distributions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider where jets and leptons arise from the cascade decay q~qχ~20qll~\tilde{q} \to q \tilde{\chi}^0_2 \to ql\tilde{l}. Furthermore, the decay branching ratios and the charge asymmetries in m(jl)m(jl) distributions are flavor non-universal due to the l~L\tilde{l}_L and l~R\tilde{l}_R mixing. When tanβ\tan\beta is large, the non-universality between ee and μ\mu becomes O(10)O(10)% level. We perform a Monte Carlo simulation for some minimal supergravity benchmark points to demonstrate the detectability.Comment: 19 pages, 6 figures, revte

    Hybrid ECAL: Optimization and Related Developments

    Full text link
    Hybrid ECAL is a cost-conscious option of electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) for particle flow calorimetry to be used in a detector of International Linear Collider (ILC). It is a combination of silicon-tungsten ECAL, which realizes high granularity and robust measurement of electromagnetic shower, and scintillator-tungsten ECAL, which gives affordable cost with similar performance to silicon. Optimization and a data acquisition trial in a test bench for the hybrid ECAL are described in this article.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, Talk presented at the International Workshop on Future Linear Colliders (LCWS14), Belgrade, Serbia, 6-10 October 201
