Feasibility Study of a Search for R-Parity violating resonant Selectron Production at the LHC

In R-parity violating supersymmetric theories, resonant slepton production is possible. While resonant smuon production has been studied before at the Tevatron collider, it has been assumed that resonant selectron production is unobservable at the LHC because of limits coming from the search for neutrinoless double beta decay. The aim of this study is to determine whether these limits can be improved by a search for resonant selectron production at CMS. First results for 2011 data are presented. It is shown that the search for resonant selectron production at CMS is feasible and that the limits from experiments using neutrinoless double beta decay can be signicantly improved.
