When bubbles collide, energy stored in the bubble walls is converted into kinetic energy of the field. This kinetic energy can facilitate the classical nucleation of new bubbles in minima that lie below those of the ... Richard Easther, Joh Giblin Jr.n T., Lam Hui and Eugene A.

This method applies when (a) the \slep1 momentum can be measured, (b) \slep2 can only decay to \slep1, and (c) \slep1 and \slep2 can be produced in the decays of a common mother particle. For small Dm, \slep2 cannot be reconstructed directly, because its decay products are too soft to be detected. Despite this, we show that the existence of \slep2 can be established by observing the shift in the mother particle invariant-mass peak, when reconstructed from decays to \slep2. We show that measuring this shift would allow us to extract Dm. As an example, we study supersymmetric gauge-gravity hybrid models in which \slep1 is a meta-stable charged slepton next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle and \slep2 is the next-to-lightest slepton with Dm ~ 5&nbsp;\gev.
