Search for new physics in final states with low transverse energy photon and missing transverse energy
Abstract: We present a search for new physics in the final state of a low transverse energy photon and missing transverse energy using 7.3 fb1 of s=8 TeV LHC proton-proton collisions collected with the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector. This analysis extends the high-energy single-photon searches to a lower-energy regime. In the absence of deviations from the standard model predictions, limits are set on the production cross section of exotic decays of the Higgs boson. We have also analyzed the phase space consisting of a photon with a transverse energy of at least GeVandmissingtransverseenergyinamodelindependentwaybyvaryingtheselectionrequirementsonthemissingtransverseenergyandtransversemass.Wesetupperlimitsatthe95\%$ confidence level on the production cross section of possible processes appearing in this final state.
