parallel talk SUSY I

Description

In this talk, I will discuss the constraints on R-Parity Violating (RPV) couplings of the minimal supersymmetric standard model, using Drell-Yan differential cross sections at the LHC. Specifically, I will look at the constraints on $\lambda'LQD^c$ couplings from monolepton and dilepton data published by ATLAS. Out of the 27 $\lambda'$-couplings, we find new limits on 18 (or 19) of them, for squarks masses above 1 (or 2) TeV. These constraints are obtained by quantifying the effect of RPV on the Drell-Yan differential cross sections. I will also show that these techniques can be employed to achieve significantly stronger bounds at a high-luminosity upgrade of the LHC.
