Sgoldstino phenomenology at SND@HL-LHC

A bstract We study the phenomenology of light scalar sgoldstinos, with masses from the dimuon threshold up to a few GeV, focusing on their production and detection prospects at the SND@HL-LHC experiment. We review the effective sgoldstino interactions with Standard Model particles, the dominant meson-decay production channels, and the relevant experimental constraints on the model parameter space. We also outline the recently proposed SND@HL-LHC detector configuration and discuss the kinematics and track separation of the muon pair produced in sgoldstino decays inside the detector volume. For two representative sets of supersymmetry-breaking parameters, we present sensitivity estimates and show that the muon-antimuon separation efficiency should be taken into account in searches for the dimuon signal.
