Searching SUSY Leptonic Partner at the CERN LHC
  Motivated by the observed excess of the di-photon signal in Higgs searches, $\sigma_{\gamma\gamma}/\sigma_{\rm SM}\simeq 1.5$, we argue that models with enhanced $\Gamma(h\to \gamma\gamma)$ alone are the most favorable scenarios when the latest LHC/Tevatron results are all taken into account. We study the phenomenology of a supersymmetric scenario of light stau first proposed by \textit{Carena et. al. \cite{carlos}} that predicts a 125 GeV SM-like Higgs boson with enhanced diphoton decay through light stau loops. Since it is extremely challenging to search the Drell-Yan stau pair at the LHC due to the small production rate, we focus on the parameter space with enhanced production of inclusive stau pairs, in particular, via $b\bar{b}$ fusion or gaugino pairs. We study its phenomenology in both pure leptonic tau $\tau^\pm_\ell$ channels and hadronic tau tagged $\tau_h$ channels. We find the same-sign dilepton from $\tilde{\chi}^\pm_1 \tilde{\chi}^0_2 \to \tau^\pm_\ell \tau^\pm_\ell+X$ may significantly improve the discovery potential with even 7--8 TeV LHC of ${\cal O}(30 \text{fb}^{-1})$ data. In the case of hadronic tau pair, we use the final state $j+\tau_h \tau_h +\cancel{E}_T$ to search and find that even with the most optimistic region of $M_2\sim 200-300$ GeV, it requires at least 50 fb$^{-1}$ data of 14 TeV LHC to reach a significance of 3.5 $\sigma$. Therefore, we conclude it is difficult to claim discovery only through hadronic tau based on the data by the 2012 shut-down. 5 $\sigma$ reach for our most optimistic region then requires 100 fb$^{-1}$ data with 14 TeV running.
