Abstract

I explore the phenomenology of supersymmetric models in which the gauginos are much heavier than the scalar particles of the MSSM. In these models, the gauginos are inaccessible to colliders while the scalar spectrum is weak scale and compressed. Collider signatures for these models include multiparticle decay chains, many taus in the final state, and displaced vertecies. I build several models which exhibit this mass spectrum, and analyze the particle decay chains for several SUSY scenarios with various choices of the NLSP.
