Olaf Kittel (University of Granada)12/12/2008, 14:30SupersymmetryIn the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, physical phases of complex parameters lead to CP violation. We show how triple products of particle momenta or spins can be used to construct asymmetries, that allow us to probe these CP phases. We discuss the production of charginos and neutralinos at the International Linear Collider (ILC). For the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), we discuss CP...Go to contribution page

Rainer Bartoldus (Representative from the Babar collaboration)12/12/2008, 14:55SupersymmetryWe present recent results in quarkonium spectroscopy and searches for new physics in bottomonium decays. Highlights include the discovery of the bottomonium ground state in the reaction Y(3S)->gamma eta_b. We present new limits on invisible and radiative Upsilon decays which constrain models with light Higgs or light dark matter candidates.Go to contribution page

Andrea Ventura (Università del Salento + INFN Lecce)12/12/2008, 15:20SupersymmetryThe search for Supersymmetry (SUSY) among the possible scenarios of New Physics is one of the most relevant goals of the ATLAS experiment running at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. In the present work the expected prospects for discovering SUSY with the ATLAS detector are reviewed, and in particular for the first fb^-1 of collected integrated luminosity. All studies and results reported here...Go to contribution page

Emma Torro Pastor (IFIC CSIC - Universitat de Valencia)12/12/2008, 15:40Experimental ProspectsIn certain supersymmetry breaking scenarios, characteristic signatures can be expected which would not necessarily be found in generic SUSY searches for events containing high-pT multi-jets and large missing transverse energy. In this talk, I will present the expected response of the ATLAS detector to signatures involving high-pT photons which may or may not appear to point back to the primary...Go to contribution page

Takashi Shimomura (University of Valencia)12/12/2008, 16:00SupersymmetryWhen the mass difference between the lightest slepton, the NLSP, and the lightest neutralino, the LSP, is smaller than the tau mass, the lifetime of the lightest slepton increases in many orders of magnitude with respect to typical lifetimes of other supersymmetric particles. These small mass differences are possible in the MSSM and, for instance, they correspond to the coannihilation...Go to contribution page

Dr Satoru Kaneko (IFIC, Valencia Univ.)12/12/2008, 16:20SupersymmetryWe study the supersymmetric version of the type-II seesaw mechanism assuming minimal supergravity boundary conditions. We calculate branching ratios for lepton flavour violating (LFV) scalar tau decays, potentially observable at the LHC, as well as LFV decays at low energy, such as $l_i ¥to l_j +¥gamma$ and compare their sensitivity to the unknown seesaw parameters. In the minimal case of...Go to contribution page

Prof. Myriam Mondragon (Instituto de Fisica, UNAM)12/12/2008, 16:40SupersymmetryWe study Finite Unified Theories (FUTs) in the context of low-energy phenomenology observables. The realistic FUTs we have studied all need or imply discrete symmetries to be all-loop finite. We present a detailed scanning of all-loop finite SU(5) FUTs, where we include the theoretical uncertainties at the unification scale and then apply several phenomenological constraints. Taking into...Go to contribution page
