Abstract:
Signatures of supersymmetry with R-parity violation (RPV) are searched for using proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. The analysis is based on the 2012 dataset taken with the CMS detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb−1. Final states consisting of two isolated leptons (electrons or muons) and jets are analyzed and interpreted in models of resonant slepton production via the RPV couplings λ′111 and λ′211. The observation is in agreement with the expectation from standard model processes. Within modified versions of the cMSSM, including one of the two couplings as an additional non-zero parameter, exclusion limits on these couplings are set in the range of scalar masses m0 up to 1.5 TeV and gaugino masses m1/2 up to 2.5 TeV. Using simplified models, limits on the production cross section in the m˜ℓ-m˜χ01 mass plane are determined.
