Resonant slepton production in hadron-hadron collisions - art. no. 055008

We consider the resonant production of sleptons via R-p in hadron-hadron co llisions followed by supersymmetric gauge decays of the sleptons. We look a t decay modes which lead to the production of a like-sign dilepton pair. Th e dominant production mechanism giving this signature is the resonant produ ction of a charged slepton followed by a decay to a charged lepton and a ne utralino which then decays via R-p. The discovery potential of this process at run II of the Fermilab Tevatron and the CERN LHC is investigated using the HERWIG Monte Carlo event generator. We include the backgrounds from the MSSM. We conclude with a discussion of the possibility of extracting the l ightest neutralino and slepton masses.
