Reconstructing the Chargino System at Linear Colliders
In most supersymmetric theories charginos, , belong
to the class of the lightest supersymmetric particles. The chargino system can
be reconstructed completely in collider experiments:
. By measuring the total
cross sections and the asymmetries with polarized beams, the chargino masses
and the gaugino-higgsino mixing angles of these states can be determined
accurately. If only the lightest charginos are
kinematically accessible in a first phase of the machine, transverse beam
polarization or the measurement of chargino polarization in the final state is
needed to determine the mixing angles. From these observables the fundamental
SUSY parameters can be derived: the SU(2) gaugino mass , the modulus and
the cosine of the CP-violating phase of the higgsino mass parameter , and
, the ratio of the vacuum expectation values of the two
neutral Higgs doublet fields. The remaining two-fold ambiguity of the phase can
be resolved by measuring the normal polarization of the charginos. Sum rules of
the cross sections can be exploited to investigate the closure of the
two-chargino system.Comment: 25 pages, 6 figure
Like Sign Dilepton Signature for R-Parity Violating SUSY Search at the Tevatron Collider
The like sign dileptons provide the most promising signature for
superparticle search in a large category of -parity violating SUSY models.
We estimate the like sign dilepton signals at the Tevatron collider, predicted
by these models, over a wide region of the MSSM parameter space. One expects an
unambiguous signal upto a gluino mass of GeV ( GeV) with
the present (proposed) accumulated luminosity of .Comment: 12 page LaTeX file; 5 figures available upon request from the autho
Using Tau Polarization for Charged Higgs Boson and SUSY Searches at LHC
The polarization can be easily measured at LHC in the 1-prong hadronic
decay channel by measuring what fraction of the -jet momentum is
carried by the charged track. A simple cut requiring this fraction to be >0.8
retains most of the polarization of +1 -jet signal while
suppressing the polarization of -1 -jet background and practically
eliminating the fake background. This can be utilized to extract the
charged Higgs signal. It can be also utilized to extract the SUSY signal in the
stau NLSP region, and in particular the stau co-annihilaton region.Comment: 8 pages, 9 figures; Fig.8 and Fig.9 are replaced, published in

Probing Supersymmetry using Event Shape variables at 8 TeV LHC
We have revisited the prospects of Supersymmetry(SUSY) searches at the LHC
with 7 TeV energy along with the prediction of the discovery potential at 8 TeV
energy assuming an integrated luminosity 5 and 20 \invfb with
mSUGRA/CMSSM as a model framework. We discuss further optimization of our
selection strategy which is based on the hadronic event shape variables.
Evaluating the standard model backgrounds and signal rates in detail we predict
the discovery reach in the plane for 7 TeV with 5\invfb
luminosity. We also present the discovery reach for 8 TeV energy with an
integrated luminosity 5\invfb and 20 \invfb. A comparison is made between
our results and the exclusion plots obtained by CMS and ATLAS. Finally,
discovery reach in the gluino and squark mass plane at the 7 TeV and 8 TeV
energy is also presented.Comment: 17 pages, 6 eps figures, 20/fb results and figures added, some

Looking for the Charged Higgs Boson
This review article starts with a brief introduction to the charged Higgs
boson (H^\pm) in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). It then
discusses the prospects of a relatively light H^\pm boson search via top quark
decay at Tevatron/LHC, and finally a heavy H^\pm boson search at LHC. The
viable channels for H^\pm search are identified in both the cases, with
particular emphasis on the H^\pm --> tau + nu decay channel. The effects of NLO
QCD correction in the SM as well as the MSSM are discussed briefly.Comment: 17 pages with 8 eps figures, Invited review, Reference adde

Quantum SUSY signatures in low and high energy processes
In the search for phenomenological evidence of supersymmetry through the
indirect method of quantum signatures, it is useful to seek correlations of the
non-standard quantum effects in low and high energy proceses, such as those
involving on one hand the properties of the B-mesons and on the other hand the
physics of the top quark and of the Higgs bosons. There are regions of the MSSM
parameter space where the potential quantum SUSY signatures in the two energy
regimes are strongly interwoven and therefore the eventual detection of these
correlated quantum effects would strongly point towards the existence of
underlying supersymmetric dynamics.Comment: 17 pages, LaTeX, 7 figs included with epsfig. Talk at the 5th

Lower Bound on the Pseudoscalar Mass in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model
In the Higgs sector of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, the mass of
the pseudoscalar is an independent parameter together with . If is small, then the process is
kinematically allowed and is suppressed only if is small. On the
other hand, the mass of the charged Higgs boson is now near , and the
decay is enhanced if is small. Since the former
has not been observed, and the branching fraction of cannot be
too small (by comparing the experimentally derived cross section
from the leptonic channels with the theoretical prediction), we can infer a
phenomenological lower bound on of at least 60 GeV for all values of
