Search for light- and heavy-flavor three-jet resonances in multijet final states at 8 TeV
Abstract: A search for three-jet hadronic resonance production in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV has been conducted by the CMS Collaboration at the LHC with a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.5 fb1. The search method is model independent for events with high jet multiplicity and a large value of the scalar sum of jet transverse momenta; however, event selection is optimized using R-parity-violating supersymmetric models with gluino pair production in a six-jet final state. Gluino models explored include final states with either only light-flavor jets or those that include heavy-flavor quarks. Good agreement is found between the selected events and the expected standard model multijet and tˉt backgrounds, and the most stringent limits to date are set on the production of heavy-flavor R-parity-violating supersymmetric gluinos.
