Abstract: A search for new physics is performed using events with a pair of isolated same-sign leptons and jets in the final state using the CMS detector at the LHC. Results are based on a sample of proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 12.9 fb−1. In order to be sensitive to a wide variety of possible signals beyond the standard model, we consider multiple search regions defined by the missing transverse energy, the hadronic transverse energy, the transverse mass, the number of jets and b quark jets, and the transverse momenta of the leptons in the event. No excess above the standard model background expectation is observed and constraints are set on the gluino pair production cross section; model independent limits and selection efficiencies are also provided for additional model testing. | ||

Summary |
We have presented the results of a search for new physics in same-sign dilepton events using the CMS detector at the LHC, based on a proton-proton collision data sample at √s= 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 12.9 fb−1, collected in the first half of 2016. The data are analyzed in exclusive signal regions defined with different selections on lepton and event kinematic variables, as well as jet and b jet multiplicities. No significant deviations from the standard model expectations are observed. The results are used to set upper limits on the gluino pair production of supersymmetric particles in two simplified models. Gluino masses are probed up to 1350 GeV, extending the sensitivity of previous dilepton searches. In addition, 95% confidence level limits of 1.4 pb and 57 fb are set on the production cross section of two SS top quarks and tˉttˉt, respectively, and model independent limits and selection efficiencies are provided to allow further interpretations of the results. |
