Discovery and Exclusion Prospects for Staus Produced by Heavy Higgs Boson Decays at the LHC

Figure 4

Potential areas of exclusion at 95% C.L. within Scenario I for a center-of-mass energy of  TeV. The area above the full line, here in dark gray, represents the one that could be possibly excluded by this analysis at 100 fb^-1 of integrated luminosity if no evidence of signal is found. The area below it, here in light gray, that is defined by the dashed line shows the potentially excluded range at 1000 fb^-1 of integrated luminosity. However, the dashed line here is not visible since it goes below masses of the lightest stau of  GeV. The shaded red area is forbidden because the decay mode is kinematically closed.
