We are currently working on the extension to this theory, suggested by Itay Yavin and others, which can be found here.
These models aim to explain the recent high-energy astrophysics observations made by the ATIC and PAMELA experiments, as well as the DAMA experiment.

| The signature is many leptons in the same cone, resembling a jet. For ATLAS, the leptons usually fall in the same ROI (Region of Interest), requiring additional trigger chains to be sensitive to these events. The SLAC group has been focusing on the muonic final state. The highly collimated muons provide a distinctive signature in a final state which can be made relatively free of background using available experimental handles. With the larger cross-sections of the SUSY enhanced models, this analysis can begin to probe new regions of phase-space with a luminosity of ~ 50 pb-1. |
