Production of Long-Lived Sleptons at LHC

Abstract

We analyse the MSSM parameter space and discuss the narrow band near the so-called co-annihilation region where sleptons may be long-lived particles. This region is consistent with the WMAP restrictions on the Dark matter and depends on the value of $\tan \beta$. In this region staus are long-lived and may go through the detector. Due to a relatively small mass (150 $÷$ 850 GeV) their production cross-section at LHC may reach a few % pb.
