Sumario: | One of the goals of the ATLAS experiment at the LHC is to search for evidence of Supersymmetry (SUSY) signals and to measure, if discovered, the main properties of the new particles, like the spin. Left-handed squark cascade decay to second lightest neutralino which further decays to slepton represents a good opportunity for SUSY particles' spin measurement. The observability of charge asymmetries in invariant mass distributions of some final products is investigated to prove that neutralino spin is 1/2. The criteria used to select signal events and to reject background are described, together with the applied cut efficiencies. Results on charge asymmetry are then shown and discussed. |
