Scientific paper

We propose a new model-independent technique for mass measurements in missing energy events at hadron colliders. We illustrate our method with the most challenging case of a short, single-step decay chain. We consider inclusive same-sign chargino pair production in supersymmetry, followed by leptonic decays to sneutrinos. We introduce two one-dimensional decompositions of the Cambridge MT2 variable: MT2_\parallel and MT2_\perp, on the direction of the upstream transverse momentum PT and the direction orthogonal to it, respectively. We show that the sneutrino mass can be measured directly by minimizing the number of events N in which MT2 exceeds a certain threshold, conveniently measured from the endpoint MT2^max_\perp.
