Abstract
Prospects for observing a SUSY-like signal from two gluinos \( \tilde g\tilde g \) are investigated within a certain region of the mSUGRA parameter space, where the cross section of the two gluino production in pp collisions at the LHC (\( \sqrt s \) = 14 TeV) via gluon-gluon fusion (gg → \( \tilde g\tilde g \)) is estimated at a rather high level of 17.3 pb. In this so-called EGRET region, the lightest stable neutralinos can serve as cold dark matter particles and are natural explanations of the excess of diffuse galactic gamma rays observed by the EGRET space apparatus. The \( \tilde g\tilde g \) -event selection relies on a very clear signature when decay products of each gluino contain one b-anti-b pair, one or two lepton-antilepton pair(s) and a neutralino. Rather high transverse-missing energy, carried away by the two neutralinos, is an essential signature of the events and also allows the relevant Standard Model background to be reduced significantly. In particular, it was found that the clear signatures of the selected processes demonstrate good prospects discovering the EGRET gluinos at the LHC. Furthermore, these signatures allow one to distinguish different mSUGRA parameters m 1/2 inside the EGRET region.
