Motivation • The very light gravitino (~O(10eV)) is quite attractive from the view of point cosmology. • The next lightest supersymmetryparticle(NLSP) life time directly gives the gravitino mass. • We focus on the case that the NLSP is stau from now. • However, it is difficult to measure the NLSP lifetime at LHC. • It is possible to determine the NLSP lifetime at ILC. [arXiv:1104.3624]
NLSP : Stau τ− e- ~ τ− ~ • From the stau mass and lifetime, we can get the gravitino mass. • To estimate the gravitino mass precision is goal. g ~ g Z*, γ* ~ τ+ NLSP lifetime example. t~ 100 x Mpl2 x m3/22/mNLSP5~ O(10–13 ) sec. ct~ 100 mm e+ τ+ Tau lepton lifetime. ct ~ 80 mm
Long lifetime means large impact parameter. Thus, by observing the impact parameter distribution of the tau decay products, we can measure the stau lifetime. Impact Parameter Leptonic decay (e±, μ±, ν.) Hadronic decay (π±, K±, etc.) t Stau 1st layer Stau IP Gravitino 16mm Impact parameter d
