An inclusive search for new phenomena in final states with one or more jets and missing transverse momentum at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV with the ${\alpha_{\text{T}}}$ variable
CMS Collaboration
August 2016

Abstract: A search for new-physics phenomena is performed in final states containing one or more jets and an imbalance in transverse momentum in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The analysed data sample, recorded with the CMS detector in 2016 at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 12.9 fb $^{-1}$ . Several kinematic variables are employed to strongly suppress the dominant background, multijet production from quantum chromodynamics, as well as discriminate effectively between other standard model and new-physics processes. The search provides sensitivity to a broad range of new-physics models that yield a stable weakly interacting massive particle. The observed candidate events are found to agree with the expected contributions from standard model processes. The result is interpreted in the mass parameter space of simplified supersymmetric models that assume the gluino-mediated and direct production of pairs of third-generation squarks. The gluino mass, and bottom and top squark masses, are excluded up to 1775, 1025, and 875 GeV, respectively.

Summary

An inclusive search for supersymmetry with the CMS experiment is reported, based on a data sample of pp collisions collected in 2016 at

$\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 12.9

$\pm$ 0.8 fb

$^{-1}$ . Final states with jets and significant

$\vec{p}_{\mathrm{T}}^{\text{miss}}$ , as expected from the production and decay of massive gluinos and squarks, have been analysed. Candidate signal events are categorised according to the number of reconstructed jets, the number of jets identified to originate from bottom quarks, and the scalar and vector sums of the transverse momentum of jets. The sum of standard model backgrounds per bin has been estimated from a simultaneous binned likelihood fit to event yields in the signal region and control samples. The observed yields in the signal region are found to be in agreement with the expected contributions from standard model processes. Limits are determined in the mass parameter space of simplified models involving the gluino-mediated and direct production of third-generation squark pairs. The excluded mass parameter space extends significantly beyond that set by previous searches, with observed exclusions in gluino mass, and bottom and top squark masses, as high as 1775, 1025, and 875 GeV, respectively.
