Abstract

We present a detailed study of the collider observable mT2 applied for pair-produced superparticles decaying to visible particles and a pair of invisible lightest supersymmetric particles (LSPs). Analytic expressions of the maximum of mT2 over all events (mT2max) are derived. It is noticed that if the decay product of each superparticle involves more than one visible particle, mT2max being a function of the trial LSP mass mχ has a kink structure at mχ = true LSP mass, which can be used to determine the mother superparticle mass and the LSP mass simultaneously. To see how well mT2max can be constructed from collider data, a Monte-Carlo analysis of the gluino mT2 is performed for some superparticle spectra.
