The present neutrino data, after a precise determination of the mixing angle $\\theta_{13}$, severely constrain such models. We make a thorough study of one such class of models that may have interesting signatures at the upgraded LHC. In this class of models, the relevant trilinear couplings are of the form $\\lambda'_{i33}$, so if the lighter stop squark $\\tilde{t}_1$ is the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP), it will decay only through these couplings, giving rise to events with isolated hard leptons and jets. Even when $\\tilde{t}_1$ is the next-to-LSP (NLSP), it can decay via the tiny $\\lambda'$ couplings allowed by the neutrino data, although it may face stiff competition from some R-parity conserving decay modes. Using a simple Pythia based simulation, we find that in both the cases the signal consisting of a pair of oppositely charged leptons ($ee$, $\\mu \\mu$ or $e \\mu $) plus jets may be observable at the upgraded LHC experiments for a reasonable range of the $\\tilde{t}_1$ mass.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-07-24T15:53:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "12.60.Jv", "14.60.Pq", "14.80.Ly" ], "keywords": [ "neutrino mass generation", "r-parity violation", "lhc signatures", "neutrino data", "upgraded lhc" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review D", "year": 2014, "month": "Aug", "volume": 90, "number": 3, "pages": "035007" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1294665, "adsabs": "2014PhRvD..90c5007B" } } }
