Description

In the anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking model with the assumption of the generic form of Kaehler potential, gauginos are the only kinematically accessible superparticles to the LHC. We consider the LHC phenomenology of such a model assuming that the gluino is lighter than 1 TeV. We show that a significant number of charged winos, which may travel O(10 cm) before the decay, are produced from the gluino production processes. Thus, in this class of model, it will be very important to search for short charged tracks using inner detectors. We also show that, if a large number of the charged wino tracks are identified, the lifetime of the charged wino can be measured, which provides us a test of anomaly mediation
