The discovery potential of the LHC is investigated for the minimalanomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking (mAMSB) scenario, using the ATLAS fastdetector simulator, including track reconstruction and particle identification.Generic supersymmetry search cuts are used to map the 5-sigma (and >=10 event)discovery contours in the m_0 - m_3/2 plane. With 100 inverse fb of integratedluminosity the search will reach up to 2.8 TeV in the squark mass and 2.1 TeVin the gluino mass. We generalise a kinematical variable and demonstrate thatit is sensitive to the small chargino-LSP mass splitting characteristic of AMSBmodels. By identifying tracks from chargino decays we show that the Wino-likenature of the LSP can be determined for a wide range of chargino lifetimes.Comment: 46 pages, 18 figures, added reference
