Long-lived triplinos and displaced lepton signals at the LHC

We explore the possibility of having superpartners of triplet Higgs bosons, named as 'triplinos'. They form a part of light neutralinos and charginos in a $Y=0$ extended supersymmetric Standard Model. For this model such electroweakinos do not have direct couplings to the Standard Model fermions. On top of that, due to very compressed spectrum for lighter neutralinos and charginos, their decay products coming from three body decays are very soft and thus can evade the current collider bounds. These decays are particularly interesting since they give rise to displaced leptonic signatures. We categorise the parameter space, while exploring different displaced decay possibilities. A PYTHIA based simulation has been performed to find out the displaced charged lepton, jet and $b$-jet final states at the LHC with center of mass energy of 14 TeV.


Introduction
The discovery of the Higgs boson [1,2] was the last piece in the Standard Model (SM), opening a new era in the particle physics. However, the LHC experiments have not ruled out the possibility of other scalars in the electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB). The extension of the scalar sector in the context of supersymmetry is motivated by various reasons. Introduction of supersymmetry can solve the hierarchy problem, and along with conserved R-parity, it can give rise to a stable dark matter candidate. The discovery of a ∼ 125 GeV Higgs boson in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM), demands the supersymmetric (SUSY) mass scale either to be very heavy or it requires large mass splitting between the superpartners of the top quarks [3]. This brings back the fine-tuning problem. An extension of the Higgs sector provides a solution to the problem with extra tree-level and loop-level contributions to the Higgs bosons mass. Thus SUSY mass scale around TeV is still allowed [4]. Various such extensions include MSSM with a singlet [5], Y = 0 triplet [4,[6][7][8][9], Y = ±1 triplets [10], and the supersymmetric version [11] of the Georgi-Machacek model [12]. Also supersymmetric extensions with both singlets and triplets have been studied extensively [10,13,14]. In this article we focus on the extension of MSSM with Y = 0 triplets [4,[6][7][8][9].
In particular, our focus is on the phenomenology of the electroweak gaugino and Higgsino sectors of the model. More precisely, the superpartners of the additional triplet scalars will mix with the standard MSSM neutralinos and charginos in the spectrum. In the gauge basis we call them 'triplinos'. One basic difference is that unlike gauginos and Higgsinos, they do not directly couple to the SM fermions and consequently to their superpartners.
This feature affects the indirect bounds on the parameter space [8]. In this article we explore the production and decays of such triplinos at the LHC. For the neutral parts, the coupling to fermions and Z boson comes via mixing to the SU (2) doublets and hypercharged particles, which makes the phenomenology very interesting as we expect displaced decays of such triplinos (charginos and neutralinos). Occasionally the decay products of triplinos are so soft that they will be missed at the detectors and will give rise to disappearing charged tracks for triplet-like charginos. Such disappearing charged tracks have been investigated for some SUSY models at 8 and 13 TeV at the LHC experiments [15]. Here we investigate such scenarios for this model by segregating relative gauge hierarchy between the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) and next to LSP (NLSP).
The article is organised as follows. In Section 2 we give a brief introduction to the model along with the electroweak gaugino sectors. In Section 3 we find out the parameter spaces in the model consistent with the Higgs data and the different kinds of NLSP-LSP scenarios. The collider simulation and related phenomenology are discussed in Section 4.
Finally we conclude in Section 5.

Model
Triplet extended supersymmetric standard model (TESSM) contains a triplet chiral super-fieldT with zero hypercharge (Y = 0) in addition to the MSSM fields. The scalar part T can be represented as a 2x2 matrix where T 0 is a complex neutral field, while T − 1 and T + 2 are the charged scalar fields. Note that (T − 1 ) * = −T + 2 . The renormalizable superpontential of TESSM includes only two extra terms as compared to MSSM, since the cubic triplet term is zero, and is given by W TESSM = µ T Tr(TT ) + µ DĤd ·Ĥ u + λĤ d ·TĤ u + y tÛĤu ·Q − y bDĤd ·Q − y τÊĤd ·L , where other than the third generation Yukawa couplings are not included. Here "·" represents a contraction with the antisymmetric ij , with 12 = −1, and a hatted letter denotes the corresponding superfield. µ D is the usual mixing parameter of the two Higgs doublets and µ T is the mass parameter of the triplet. Notice that while the triplet fieldT couples to the two Higgs doublets by a dimensionless coupling λ, the triplet-SM fermion couplings are absent due to the lack of right-handed lepton doublet in the theory.
The soft SUSY breaking potential of the Higgs sector V S can be written by using the convention of the superpotential as Here B D and B T and A j (j = λ, t, b) are the soft bilinear and the soft trilinear parameters respectively, while m i (i = H d , H u , T ) represent the soft SUSY breaking masses. Throughout this paper the parameters as well as the vacuum expectation values of the neutral Higgs fields (VEVs) are chosen to be real so that Higgs sector does not introduce any CP violation.
The EWSB is realised when the neutral component of the fields acquire non-zero VEVs, denoted by and tan β = v u /v d . In this case, the W boson mass expression is altered by the triplet VEV as m 2 whereas the Z boson mass expression remains unaffected. This non-zero triplet contribution to W mass leads to a deviation in the tree-level ρ parameter expression, ρ = 1 + 4v 2 T /v 2 and the electroweak precision tests of the ρ parameter [16] impose quite stringent constraint on triplet VEV, namely v T < ∼ 5 GeV. As emphasized in [4,8,9] a non-zero triplet VEV can have drastic impact on the Higgs sector and possibly on other sectors. Throughout this paper v T is fixed at 3 √ 2 GeV.
Superpartners of the SU (2) doublet and triplet Higgs bosons and of W and B bosons constitute the neutralinos and chargino sectors. At EWSB their same charge gauge eigenstates mix also with each other. The production and decay phenomenology of neutralinos and charginos depend strongly on the mixing angles. For triplinos (superpartners of triplets), couplings with fermions are proportional to the doublet-triplet mixing angle, since directly triplinos do not couple to the fermions (or sfermions). In the subsections below we discuss the neutralino and chargino sectors separately, as well as the mixings among different gauge states.

Neutralino sector
Eq. (2.4) below presents the neutralino mass matrix in the basis (B 0 ,W 0 ,H 0 d ,H 0 u ,T 0 ). It is seen that the triplet VEV v T does not generate any independent mixing, but rather takes part in the bi-linear Higgsino mixing betweenH 0 u andH 0 d . Triplino mixes withH 0 u andH 0 d via the coupling λ and does not mix at all withB 0 ,W 0 . This is due to the fact that T 0 component does not couple to the T 3 = 0, Y = 0 states, which makes wino/bino like NLSP/LSP with a triplino LSP/NLSP scenarios particularly interesting.
The neutral parts of the Y = 0 triplet superfield, the triplet scalar or triplino, do not couple to the Z boson. Thusχ 0 j → Zχ 0 i is not allowed for a pure triplet-like neutralino. Such inertness of the triplino decays is important especially for triplino-like NLSP or LSP.
Triplet-like neutralino (NLSP) decays with a small mass gap with LSP (∼ 100 − 200 GeV) can be essential in determining the nature of the LSP or the possible mixing among the neutralinos. In particular theχ 0 j → Z/h/Aχ 0 i andχ 0 j → W ± /H ± χ ∓ i decays are crucial in determining the characteristics of the neutralinos i.e., triplet-doublet-bino-wino types of neutralinos.

Chargino Sector
For the chargino sector, the mass matrix appears in the Lagrangian with the three column Unlike the triplet-like neutralino, the triplet-like chargino mixes with both Higgsino-and wino-like charginos via g L v T and λv u/d . Interestingly for an inert triplet, i.e. v T = 0, the wino-triplino mixing vanishes, however, Higgsino-triplino mixings remain, and they go to zero only in the decoupling limit λ = 0. Unlike the neutral triplinos, the charged triplinos, being charged under SU (2), couple to W ± ,W ± and W 0 ,W 0 . However, similar to the neutralino sector this type of charginos do not couple to fermions or sfermions. This feature affects the bounds from the rare decays like B → X s γ [8]. In the next section we scan the parameter space to look for such states and the corresponding phenomenology.

Parameter space scan
For the phenomenological analysis at the LHC with center of mass energy of 14 TeV, we look for the suitable parameter space. For this purpose we scan the parameter space in the regions defined by In Eq. (3.2) we consider the current Higgs data [1,2] for ∼ 125 GeV Higgs. We avoid the invisible decay width of the ∼ 125 GeV Higgs boson by demanding m A 1,2 , mχ0 1,2,3,4,5 ≥ 65 GeV. The most recent bounds on the third generation squarks are considered [17] along with the bounds from the electroweak charginos and neutralinos [18,19]. In the following subsection we construct three different scenarios by having different nature of the NLSP and LSP. Later in this article we explore the possibilities of having long-lived triplinos and displaced vertices with such parameters at the LHC.

Sc 1: Triplino LSP
For Sc 1 we choose the data points that respect the common constraints in Eq. (3.2) and contain more than 90% triplino-like LSP in the spectrum. For the obtained data points of Sc 1 we display the mass hierarchy among charginos and neutralinos in Fig. 1. Here the red colour corresponds to triplet-like chargino and neutralinos, the mostly bino-like NNLSP is in green colour. The heavier charginos and neutralinos arrange themselves as either degenerate wino or Higgsino states, and they are shown in blue and black colour.
One of the neutralinos is not degenerate with any other state, shown with cyan colour. We observe that the lightest charginoχ ± 1 is the NLSP and it is nearly mass-degenerate with LSP as shown in Fig.2 (a). For such a mass degeneracy, one-loop order neutralino and chargino masses must be taken into account to see whether the degeneracy is preserved after including the quantum corrections [20][21][22]. If such a small mass difference persists it can provide interesting signatures, since the suppressed phase space allows the chargino NLSP to travel some distance before decaying to daughter particles. For the decay width of chargino NLSP ≤ O(10 −13 ) GeV, it can decay to pions with very small momentum or displaced charged lepton via three body decays depending on the mass difference. When the mass difference between chargino NLSP and LSP is O(150) MeV,χ ± 1 → π +χ0 1 mode is open and it becomes the dominant decay mode. The emitted pion typically has very low momentum and it is not constructed in the detector. Thus the chargino NLSP just leaves a disappearing track in the detector [15]. The long-lived chargino NLSP appearing as a disappearing track is well expected in our scenario, since the decay width of triplino-like chargino NLSP to triplino-like LSP plus fermions is strongly suppressed due to the lack of triplino-fermion coupling. Fig.2 (b) shows the mass hierarchy between the LSP and the second lightest chargino. The red points correspond to their mass gap less than m W , makingχ ∓ 2 eligible only for three-body decays and blue points correspond to a mass gap greater than m W .
We also investigate gauge modes through the second lightest neutralino decay and the data points with mχ0 2 − mχ0 1 < M Z , which are marked with red in Fig. 3. As pointed out earlier, the LSP production via gauge modeχ 0 2 →χ 0 1 Z is kinematically impossible for red data points and 3-body decays must be investigated. In Fig. 3 (b) we investigate the

Sc 2: Triplino NLSP
In Sc 2 we focus on the phenomenology of the triplino like second lightest neutralinoχ 0 2 chosen as NLSP. We have performed a scan respecting the constraints given in Eq. (3.2) and ask for the points where triplino component of NLSP is more than 90%. This scenario is quite interesting, since for the triplino-like NLSP the current LSP mass bound from the lepton modeχ 0 2 → ˜ → χ 0 1 is less tight [18,19] because NLSP does not couple to leptons due to its triplino nature. The mass hierarchy among neutralinos and charginos for the data points is given in Fig. 4. Here the red colour corresponds to the triplet-like chargino and neutralinos, the bino-like LSP is denoted by green colour. The heavier charginos and neutralinos arrange themselves also in Sc 2 as either degenerate wino or Higgsino states, and are denoted by blue and black colour. Again one of the neutralinos is not degenerate with other particles, and is shown with cyan colour. The most striking feature of this scenario is that requiring a triplet like neutralino NLSP leads to bino-like LSP in all data sets. This   is because the charged and neutral states with same nature are almost mass degenerate, and thus requirement of a triplino-like neutralino NLSP leads to a chargino with mass always slightly greater than the corresponding neutralino in the same gauge representation.
Demanding either wino-or triplino-like neutralino NLSP leaves no choice but bino to be LSP, since bino does not have any charged partner. The triplino-like neutralino NLSP leads to the lightest chargino with mass very close to NLSP making it next to NLSP (NNLSP).
In Fig. 5 (a) we display the mass hierarchy between LSP and NLSP where mass difference less than M Z is red colour-coded. For the mχ0 2 − mχ0 1 > M Z case we expect χ 0 2χ 0 1 Z coupling to be strongly suppressed due to the absence of triplino-Z -coupling. In Fig. 5 (b) we display the mass difference between the lightest chargino and LSP. It can be less than M W for some data points, yet for many data pointsχ ± 1 →χ 0 1 W ± decay is kinematically possible.

Sc 3: Higgsino LSP
In the search of long lived neutralinos and charginos we also dwell on the possibility of having Higgsino-like LSP and triplino-like NLSP, whose interaction vertex is proportional to trilinear coupling λ. For small values of λ, strongly triplino-like NLSP can be quite long lived before decaying to Higgsino dominated LSP and SM particles. To investigate this possibility we demand that the LSP is at least 50 % Higgsino-like and the NLSP is at least 50 % triplino-like during the parameter scan of scenario Sc 3. In Fig. 6 we observe that the NLSP turns out to be the lightest chargino which is almost mass degenerate and has the same Higgsino-like nature with the LSP. In this respect this scenario is similar with Sc 1 and one needs to calculate the one-loop masses for neutralinos and charginos to see if quantum corrections can change the mass hierarchy [21,22].
We also notice that the second lightest neutralino is NNSLP and it is nearly mass degenerate with the second lightest charginoχ ± 2 and the third lightest neutralinoχ 0 3 . The most distinctive difference compared to the other two scenarios is that Sc 3 contains four neutralinos and charginos having mass values close to the LSP mass. Fig. 7 (a) shows the mass hierarchy between the chargino NLSP and neutralino LSP and they are almost degenerate. In Fig. 7 (b) we show the mass hierarchy between neutralino NNLSP and LSP and the data points with the mass difference greater than M Z are shown in blue and such points are less in number. For the data points for whichχ 0 2 →χ 0 1 Z(h) is not kinematically possible, the 3-body decay channels must be investigated for LSP production. The following section is dedicated to the search for the displaced decays at the LHC via a PYTHIA based simulation [23].

LHC phenomenology
In this section we look for the displaced tracks for the scenarios discussed above by selecting few benchmark points from each scenario. Before going into detailed analysis we first introduce our set up for the simulation at the LHC with 14 TeV of center of mass energy.
After the set up we discuss the phenomenology of the different scenarios separately.
To start we implemented the model in SARAH [24,25] then generated the model files for CalcHEP [26], which has been used to generate the 'lhe events' containing the decay branching ratios and the corresponding mass spectra. where the lifetime of NLSP is given as τ N LSP and the proper decay length of NLSP is given as simulation at hadronic level has been performed using the Fastjet-3.0.3 [28] with the CAMBRIDGE AACHEN algorithm. We have selected a jet size R = 0.5 for the jet formation, with the following criteria: • the calorimeter coverage is |η| < 4.5 • the minimum transverse momentum of the jet p jet T,min = 10 GeV and jets are ordered in p T • leptons ( = e, µ) are selected with p T ≥ 5 GeV and |η| ≤ 2.5 • no jet should be accompanied by a hard lepton in the event • Since an efficient identification of the leptons is crucial for our study, we additionally require a hadronic activity within a cone of ∆R = 0.3 between two isolated leptons to be ≤ 0.15 p T GeV, with p T the transverse momentum of the lepton, in the specified cone.

Sc 1: Triplino LSP
For the LHC simulation we first consider Sc 1, where we have a triplino-like LSP and a triplino-like chargino NLSP. For the collider study we select four benchmark points from this scenario as given in Table 1, where the mass spectra for NNLSP, NLSP and LSP are listed and we can see that NLSP and LSP are nearly degenerate. For all four points NLSP is triplino-like chargino and it can be seen that the decay length for the chargino NLSP is  Table 2.
Pair and associated production cross sections forχ ± 1,2 andχ 0 1,2 at 14 TeV for the benchmark points for Sc I.
O(1 − 100) cm. However, loop corrections can alter the mass hierarchy in which case we can have an electromagnetically charged LSP, i.e. a dark matter candidate, which is not physical [21,22,29]. For this purpose we have checked the mass hierarchy via SPheno [30] considering contributions from all particles at one-loop level and the hierarchy remains the same for all benchmark points under consideration. From Table 1 we see that the treelevel mass difference between the NLSP and LSP is around O(200) MeV, sufficient to havẽ χ ± 1 → π ±χ0 1 decay. Table 2 shows the pair and associated production cross-sections for the lighter charginos and neutralinos at the LHC with center of mass energy of 14 TeV. The renormalization and factorization scales are chosen to beŝ, and CTEQ6L [31] is chosen as PDF. It is evident due to triplino nature of the chargino NLSP and neutralino LSP that the corresponding χ ± 1χ 0 2 production cross-sections are suppressed by O(10 2 ) compared to the wino-like NLSP scenarios [32]. Similarly the other production modes are also suppressed due to the triplino nature of the lighter neutralino and chargino states. The decay products are also soft such that they would be missed even at trigger level. This is why such processes could not be probed with the data from LHC at 8 TeV, and thus no mass limits can be drawn from 8 TeV data [18,19].
In Fig. 8 (a) we plot the transverse decay length of the triplino-like chargino NLSP for the benchmark points at the LHC. It can be seen that except for BP2 other BPs have O(100) cm transverse decay lengths. For BP2 it is of the order of cm. The transverse momentum distribution for the chargino NLSP is very hard, as shown in Fig. 8(b). However, due to very small mass gap between NLSP and LSP, the decay products are rather soft and would be missed by the LHC detector at the trigger level. This is evident from the missing p T  distributions as shown in Fig. 8 (c). The mass spectra for the benchmark points constitute of heavy LSP which apparently should give rise to large missing momenta. However due to the compressed spectrum, the NLSPs as well as the LSPs are produced mostly back to back and there is cancellation among the momenta of LSPs, which results into very low missing momenta. This a signature of nearly degenerate mass spectrum with dark matter candidate and very common in UED [33]. However, sufficient boost of the produced neutralino and chargino can give much needed momentum to their decay products. A possibly useful strategy is to tag the hard initial state radiation jet, which will lead to relatively large momentum recoil for the desired final state, and the decay products can cross the trigger level cuts [34]. Such analysis, though mentioned in the literature, has not been performed by LHC experiments so far while looking for electroweak neutralinos and charginos. In the following Sections we will explore these possibilities.
In this scenario the NLSP is a chargino, which has large momentum before decaying  into charged leptons and LSP. In Table 3 we show numbers of events which may give rise to disappearing charged tracks before they decay. Such displacement can be as large as 10 m for some benchmark points. It can be seen that the main contribution comes from the lightest chargino pair production (χ ± 1χ ∓ 1 ) and the lightest chargino production in association with LSP (χ ± 1χ 0 1 ) . Due to degeneracy of the spectrum it is most likely that majority of the charged leptons and jets from the decay remain undetected as they will fall below the initial trigger cuts.Nevertheless, in this Section we try to see such soft charged leptons and jets. Table 4 presents in Sc 1 the number of charged leptons (e, µ) with p T ≥ 5 GeV at the LHC with center of mass energy of 14 TeV at an integrated luminosity of 100 fb −1 with one of them being produced with a displacement. The displacements can be from 0.1 mm to 10 m as listed in Table 4. It can be seen that the corresponding leptonic events are only few due to the small branching fraction ofχ ± 1 to leptons for the benchmark points. However, for BP2 theχ ± 1χ 0 1 contribution have sufficiently many leptonic events due to the relatively large leptonic branching fraction,χ ± 1 → ± νχ 0 1 37%. Otherwise probing such leptonic final states one has to go for high luminosity LHC O(3000) fb −1 .
In Table 5 we show the displaced jets that come from the decays of chargino-type NLSP for the benchmark points at the LHC with center of mass energy of 14 TeV at an integrated luminosity of 100 fb −1 . Here we demand that at least one of the jets should be displaced and the jet momenta can be rather small p j T ≥ 10 GeV. Due to the isolation criteria (for jet-jet, jet-lepton and lepton-lepton), as given before, the contribution is much more from Of course the latter has larger cross-section that also adds to the contribution.

Sc 2: Triplino NLSP
Unlike scenario Sc 1, in this case we have a triplino-like neutralino as NLSP and there is enough mass gap between the NLSP and bino-like LSP, which enhances the possibility of detecting those displaced charged lepton and jets. In Table 6 we list three benchmark points for which the displaced decay length of triplino-like NSLP can be from cm to meter.
Benchmark However, it is interesting to see that the decay branching fractions of such NLSPs are often into ddχ 0 1 . Table 7 presents the cross-section for the electroweak chargino and neutralino production processes for the benchmark points in scenario Sc 2 at the LHC with center of mass energy of 14 TeV. From Table 7 we see that the dominant contribution toχ 0 2 production comes fromχ 0 2 χ ± 1 production at the LHC. Such neutralino NLSP will decay via off-shell Z/γ and gives rise to the di-lepton in the final state, (4.1) Eq. 4.1 describes the corresponding decay topology and the final state consists of three leptons and missing energy. Due to the compressed spectrum the parameter space is still allowed from tri-lepton plus missing energy data [19]. Here only the lepton pair coming fromχ 0 2 decay is displaced while the third lepton coming fromχ 0 1 decay is a prompt one. Table 8 presents the decay branching fractions ofχ 0 2 andχ ± 1 for the benchmark points in scenario Sc 2. It can be seen that in BP5, theχ 0 2 decays to charged lepton pairs by 2-4% and for other BPs, the branching fraction is ∼ 10 −4 . For all the benchmark points χ 0 2 dominantly decays into bbχ 0 1 with branching fractions 53%, 99% and 99% for BP5, BP6 and BP7, respectively, giving rise to displaced jets.
The multi-lepton plus missing energy bounds in [19] do not exclude our parameter space due to the following reasons. First, the charged leptons coming fromχ ± 1 orχ 0 2 are coming from three-body decays due to the lack of phase space. Thus they are very soft and will not appear after the basic cuts demanded in [19] for the electron and muon, which are ≥ 20 and 30 GeV, respectively. Second, the decay branching fraction of the leptonic modes is much smaller in our case. We see from Table 8 that the most dominant mode is the hadronic one. We also should not forget that for some benchmark points the production cross-sections are less compared to the MSSM case, where either wino-or Higgsino-like NLSPs are considered.χ ± 1 which is NNLSP in this only gives rise to prompt leptons and has no contribution towards displaced charged leptonic signature as discussed earlier.
The jets and charged leptons coming from the displaced three-body decays ofχ 0 2 are very soft. Fig. 9 (a) Table 7.
distribution can be seen from Figure 9 (b) and it is evident that leptons are rather soft.
Similarly Fig. 9 (c) presents the p j T distributions for the benchmark points and the jets are rather soft. The compressed spectrum thus prompts us to choose rather soft p T cuts for leptons (p T ≥ 5 GeV) and jets (p T ≥ 10 GeV).
We choose events where we have at least one displaced charged lepton with different displaced decay lengths for the multi-lepton final states for the benchmark points. Such events at the LHC with 14 TeV center of mass energy at 100 fb −1 integrated luminosity are collected in Table 9. For single displaced lepton events we again decompose the displaced length d in four different ranges: 0.1 mm < d ≤ 1 cm, 1 cm < d ≤ 10 cm, 10 cm < d ≤ 1 m and 1 m < d ≤ 10 m, respectively. The presence of one displaced lepton makes the final states completely background free. We see that only BP5 has promising number of events at 100 fb −1 of integrated luminosity, for other benchmark points one has to wait for highluminosity (HL), i.e., O(3000) fb −1 at the LHC. Only BP5 gives rise to sufficient number of tri-lepton events at 100 fb −1 of integrated luminosity. Table 10 presents the numbers of events at the LHC with center of mass energy of 14 TeV and at an luminosity of 100 fb −1 with multiple jets produced via a displaced decay.
The third column lists such events with at least one displaced b-jet. The soft jets have comparatively lower b-tagging efficiency [35], nevertheless due to large branching ratio of χ 0 2 into bbχ 0 1 this final state looks promising. It is interesting to see that onlyχ 0 2 contributes to the final states with b-jets via its decay to off-shell Z or Higgs boson. On the other hand,  the lightest chargino, which is NNLSP in this scenario, mainly decays via off-shell W ± , and thus does not contribute to b-jet final states. A truly tagged b-jet is a displaced one as it comes from theχ 0 2 decay.

Sc 3: Higgsino LSP
Similar to Sc1, Sc 3 has a chargino NLSP, which is nearly degenerate with the LSP but unlike Sc1, here it is a Higgsino-like LSP. Table 11 presents the benchmark points for scenario Sc 3. Table 12 l ist the cross-sections for the benchmark points at the LHC with center of mass energy of 14 TeV. Due to very small mass gap the decay products, mostly the charged leptons, cannot cross the threshold p T cuts, giving disappearing charged track as a signal. In this case the benchmark points (BP8, BP9 and BP10) are having NLSP with displaced decay lengths mm to cm, much smaller than most of the benchmark points in other scenarios. However, we will see that due to some hard ISR jets the final state decay products carry momenta above the threshold and such decay products i.e., the charged leptons and jets can be detected.
In Fig. 10 (a)  for the benchmark points in this scenario. It can be seen that the displaced transverse length can go up to few tens of cm for BP8 and BP9, and for BP10 the reach could be in meter range. Fig. 10 (b) shows the momentum that is carried by the lightest chargino NLSP for the benchmark points in this scenario, which could be very hard, specially for    BP9. Although this is nearly degenerate NLSP-LSP scenario, the decay product can have O(10) GeV momentum from the choice of phase-spaces with higher momenta. Table 13 gives numbers of events with displaced lightest chargino NLSP decay for the range of 0.1 mm to 10 m for the benchmark points. As anticipated only BP10 has events with O(10) meter of displacements. Here we have considered the dominant contributions fromχ ± 1χ ∓ 1 ,χ ± 1χ 0 1 ,χ ± 1χ 0 2 production processes.χ 0 2 is the NNLSP and has a prompt decay for all three benchmark points. However, it can decay toχ ± 1 which can give rise to additional displaced decays. Out of these events most of the events will end up giving disappearing charged track as the decay products will be below the initial trigger cuts. Nevertheless, we will bank on the possibility of the boosted decay events where the NLSP with higher momentum forward some momentum to the decay products i.e., the charged leptons and jets. The other possibility is that the final state gets high momentum recoil due to some  ISR jets. Both these effects are incorporated in our PYTHIA based analysis. Table 14 presents the single and di-lepton (e, µ) final state numbers for the benchmark points at the LHC with center of mass energy of 14 TeV and at an integrated luminosity of 100 fb −1 , where at least one of the lepton is having displaced production. However, it is important to remember that we have put the minimum p T cut of 5 GeV for these leptons as they are very soft due to nearly degenerate scenario. A demand of much higher momentum will push us to high p T corner of the phase space and we will loose in event numbers for the final states. It is evident that finding one displaced lepton could be possible but for higher lepton multiplicity such events are rare. We see BP8 as a good possibility for di-lepton events but the tri-lepton final state looks very illusive.
Next we study the status of the displaced jet final states. Table 15 shows the numbers of events with at least one displaced jet with p j T ≥ 10 GeV for the benchmark points in this scenario at the LHC with center of mass energy of 14 TeV with an integrated luminosity of 100 fb −1 . We see that as expected, only BP10 has some displaced jet events in the meter range. Due to the degenerate NLSP-LSP case, we demanded much lower momentum cuts    Table 15. Number of events with multiple jets with at least one of them displaced with displacement 0.1 mm to 10 m at 14 TeV for the benchmark points in scenario Sc 3.

Discussion and conclusion
In this article we have considered the phenomenology of the electroweak gaugino sector for the Y = 0 triplet extended supersymmetric SM. The triplet extension is motivated due to reducing the demand for large SUSY mass scale for a desired ∼ 125 GeV Higgs boson.
Such extensions specially with Y = 0 do not couple to fermions and give rise to interesting phenomenology in the neutral and charged Higgs sectors [4,8,9,13,14].
Similar to Higgs sectors the phenomenology of electroweak chargino and neutralino sectors differ from MSSM and is thus worth exploring. We noticed that triplet-like charginos and neutralinos are almost mass degenerate. In scenario Sc 1, such triplino-like low lying states give rise to displaced phenomenology. In scenario Sc 2, both the NLSP and NNLSP are of triplino-type and they are also nearly degenerate as mass eigenstates tend to follow the same gauge structure. Similar feature for Higgs mass eigenstates following the gauge structure in a supersymmetric extended Higgs scenario has already been observed [13,14].   and alter the bounds coming from the rare decays, such as B → X s γ [8].
Unlike scalar component of the Y = 0 fermionic triplet in supersymmetric Type-III seesaw [22,29], these triplinos are fermions, do not carry any lepton numbers and couple to Higgs boson via Type-III Yukawa coupling. Type-III model scalar triplino decay can give rise to a doublet-type (viz. h 125 ) displaced Higgs production [29]. Such features can be explored in order to distinguish the Y = 0 SU (2) triplets with different spins. Generically seesaw models predict displaced decays due to very small Yukawa couplings [36].
Displaced jets can come from various other models including R-parity violating decays and recent LHC searches have put some bounds on models [37]. R-parity violating Higgs decays can also lead to displaced multi-lepton final states [38]. In a supersymmetric U (1) extended scenario, superpartners of right-handed neutrinos can have displaced decays due to a very suppressed coupling occurring because of the cancellation among the parameters in the superpotential and the soft parameters [39]. However, in these cases the corresponding decay products have relatively large momentum, enough to be detected. In this study we have used rather soft triggers, i.e., p T ≥ 5 GeV and p j T ≥ 10 GeV. Application of larger momentum cuts i.e., p T ≥ 20 GeV and p j T ≥ 20 GeV reduce the leptonic and jet final state events by ∼ 41% and ∼ 43%, respectively. For such large momentum cuts, the high luminosity version of LHC is essential.
