Inclusive search for supersymmetry using razor variables in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}= $ 13 TeV
Abstract: An inclusive search for supersymmetry with the razor variables is performed using a data sample of proton-proton collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the CMS experiment in 2016 at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}= $ 13 TeV. The search covers final states with zero or one charged lepton and features event categories divided according to the presence of a high-transverse momentum hadronically decaying W boson or top quark, the number of jets, the number of b-tagged jets, and the values of the razor kinematic variables in order to separate signal from background for a wide variety of supersymmetric particle signatures. The combination of the zero-lepton, one-lepton, and boosted W boson and top quark event categories increases the sensitivity particularly to signal models with large mass splitting between the produced gluino or squark and the lightest supersymmetric particle. Limits on the gluino mass extend to 2.0 TeV while limits on top squark masses reach 1.14 TeV.
