Description

We recast ATLAS displaced vertex searches to a next-to-minimal gauge mediated model originally invented by Delgado, Giudice and Slavich. The singlino decays may be dislpaced, producing b bbar pairs and missing energy. This signal has terrible efficiency with ATLAS cuts as they were set in the ATLAS analysis. Characterising detector response to displaced vertices is extremely difficult.
