Probing light higgsinos in natural SUSY from monojet signals at the LHC

Abstract

We investigate a strategy to search for light, nearly degenerate higgsinos within the natural MSSM at the LHC. We demonstrate that the higgsino mass range μ in 100-160 GeV, which is preferred by the naturalness, can be probed at 3σ significance through the monojet search at 14 TeV HL-LHC with 3000 fb-1 luminosity. The proposed method can also probe certain region in the parameter space for the lightest neutralino with a high higgsino purity, that cannot be reached by planned direct detection experiments at XENON-1 T(2017).©The Authors.
