Hi Ashutosh,
I agree it is very impressive. It is the kind of thing I intend to
work on at LHC 14 TeV.
Hopefully nature is kind enough for the masses to be in the regions
below the lines!
A central question (especiially for e+e-) is whether facilities can pair
produce detectable next-to-lightest
supersymmetric particle pairs. For e+e- it is hard to evade sensitivity
up to the beam energy
and chargino pairs are arguably the most relevant.
Whenever we produced these plots at LEP we had the m_LSP = m_NLSP line
superimposed,
and the narrow corridor between them at about delta_M =2-3 GeV which was
not
accessible in the standard searches was obvious to the reader. That is
not the case in the ATLAS plot.
In general most SUSY talks do not adequately explain the caveats or even
methods associated with
the various plots. I am not trying to shoot inwards, I am trying to
understand what are the
reasonable scientific conclusions from the proposed programs. A
reference to the
study/white paper would also help.
regards
Graham
