Search For New Physics In All Hadronic Events With Alphat In 8 Tev Data With Cms

Search for New Physics in All-hadronic Events with AlphaT in 8 TeV Data with CMS

"An inclusive search for supersymmetric processes that produce final states with jets and missing transverse energy is performed in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of [the square root of] s = 8 TeV. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 19.5 fb−1 collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. In this search, a dimensionless kinematic variable, [alpha]T, is used to discriminate between events with genuine and misreconstructed missing transverse energy. The search is based on an examination of the number of reconstructed jets per event, the scalar sum of transverse energies of these jets, and the number of these jets identified as originating from bottom quarks. The results are interpreted in two simplified models with direct stop production"--Page v.

Search for New Physics in Same-Sign Dilepton Events in the CMS Detector at the Large Hadron Collider

CMS results of a new physics search in same-sign dilepton events with b-tagged jets and missing transverse energy (MET) are being presented. These results cover the full 2012 dataset from the LHC at root(s)=8 TeV, corresponding to 19.5/fb. Isolated same-sign dilepton events are easily detected and rare in the Standard Model (SM), but they occur in abundance in some supersymmetry (SUSY) models. Hence, this channel provides a very clean, low background, search for new physics. Multiple search regions defined by the observables MET, hadronic energy (HT), and number of b-tagged jets are considered. The data agrees with the SM prediction, therefore exclusion limits at 95% C.L. are presented for various simplified SUSY models.
