Compressed electroweakino spectra at the LHC
José Zurita (THEP)


Chargino and neutralino (electroweakino) searches at the LHC in the multi-lepton plus missing energy topology lose sensitivity in the case of small mass splitting between the mass eigenstates. In this talk I will discuss (arXiv 1312.7350) how the monojet searches, in combination with the presence of soft leptons, can be used to probe the parameter space. Electroweakino masses up to 200 GeV can be excluded with 300/fb at the 14 TeV LHC, and discovery is possible with 3000/fb in some regions of parameter space.
