1206.6888 (David Curtin et al.)

Charginos Hiding In Plain Sight    [PDF]

David Curtin, Prerit Jaiswal, Patrick Meade
Recent 5/fb measurements by ATLAS and CMS have measured both overall and differential WW cross sections that differ from NLO SM predictions. While these measurements aren't statistically significant enough to rule out the SM, we demonstrate that the data from both experiments can be better fit with the inclusion of electroweak gauginos with masses of O(100) GeV. These new states can also provide a better fit for SM WZ measurements. We show that these new states are consistent with other experimental searches/measurements and have ramifications for Higgs phenomenology.
