In SUSY models with heavy squarks and gaugino mass unification, the gaugino pair production reaction pp -> (W) over tilde (+/-)(1)(Z) over tilde (2) dominates gluino pair production for m (g) over tilde less than or similar to 1 TeV at LHC with root s = 14 TeV (LHC14). For this mass range, the two-body decays (W) over tilde (1) -> W (Z) over tilde (1) and (Z) over tilde (2) -> h (Z) over tilde (1) are expected to dominate the chargino and neutralino branching fractions. By searching for lb (b) over tilde + is not an element of(T) events from (W) over tilde (+/-)(1)Z(2) production, we show that LHC14 with 100 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity becomes sensitive to chargino masses in the range m((W) over tilde1) similar to 450-550 GeV corresponding to m (g) over tilde similar to 1.5-2 TeV in models with gaugino mass unification. For 10(3) fb(-1), LHC14 is sensitive to the Wh channel for m((W) over tilde1) similar to 300-800 GeV, corresponding to m (g) over tilde similar to 1-2.8 TeV, which is comparable to the reach for gluino pair production followed by cascade decays. The Wh + is not an element of(T) search channel opens up a new complementary avenue for SUSY searches at LHC, and serves to point to SUSYas the origin of any new physics discovered via multijet and multilepton + is not an element of(T) channels.
