Description
A future 10TeV muon collider presents exciting opportunities for the direct detection of charged long-lived particles. We present here a study of long-lived staus, using gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking as a benchmark model. The stau decays into a tau and a gravitino, with the gravitino as a dark matter candidate. Analysis of stau reconstruction efficiency provides insight into the necessary design optimization of a muon collider tracker in order to provide sensitivity to Beyond Standard Model signatures. We examine various lifetimes and masses of staus to determine timing constraints during track reconstruction that can reject signal from beam-induced background and improve potential LLP detection capability.
