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

Figure 5

Signal significance in the plane, within Scenario I, for a center-of-mass energy of  TeV and total integrated luminosities of 100 fb^-1 (a) and 1000 fb^-1 (b). The dark green area above the dashed line is the discovery level region (5 standard deviations), while the light green area above the solid line is the evidence level region (3 standard deviations). Finally, the white area below the solid line corresponds to signal significances smaller than 3 and the red area is kinematically forbidden.
