Description
The lighter chargino (chi1) is a prime candidate to be the
next-to-lightest SUSY particle (the NLSP). Several analyses have been
done of chi1 pair-production at the ILC, at specific model-points,
showing that detection and property-determination is possible, even for
very difficult cases. However, no recent studies have evaluated the
reach of the ILC to detect chi1 pair production in general. In this
contribution, cross sections for chi1 production at the ILC were
evaluated with a wide range of parameters. The aim of the study was to
determine the conditions for the lowest cross sections and compare
these worst-case values with an estimation of the cross section limit
for the observation of the lightest charginos at the ILC. The estimated
limits were extrapolated from the studies performed at LEP, which can
also be regarded as a worst-case scenario.
