Abstract: Results are reported from a search for new physics beyond the standard model in proton-proton collisions in final states with a single lepton; multiple jets, including at least one jet tagged as originating from the hadronization of a bottom quark; and large missing transverse momentum. The search uses a sample of proton-proton collision data at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV, corresponding to 137 fb$^{-1}$, recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The signal region is divided into categories characterized by the total number of jets, the number of bottom quark jets, the missing transverse momentum, and the sum of masses of large-radius jets. The observed event yields in the signal regions are consistent with estimates of standard model backgrounds based on event yields in the control regions. The results are interpreted in the context of simplified models of supersymmetry involving gluino pair production in which each gluino decays into a top quark-antiquark pair and a stable, unobserved neutralino, which generates missing transverse momentum in the event. Scenarios with gluino masses up to about 2150 GeV are excluded at 95% confidence level (or more) for neutralino masses up to 700 GeV. The highest excluded neutralino mass is about 1250 GeV, which holds for gluino masses around 1850 GeV. | ||

Figure 1:
Gluino pair production and decay for the simplified models T1tttt (left) and T5tttt (right). In T1tttt, the gluino undergoes a three-body decay ${\mathrm{\tilde{g}}} \to {\mathrm{t} {}\mathrm{\bar{t}}} \tilde{\chi}^0_1 $ via a virtual intermediate top squark. In T5tttt, the gluino decays via the sequential two-body process ${\mathrm{\tilde{g}}} \to \tilde{\mathrm{t}} _1\mathrm{\bar{t}} $, $\tilde{\mathrm{t}} _1\to \mathrm{t} \tilde{\chi}^0_1 $. Because gluinos are Majorana fermions, each one can decay to $\tilde{\mathrm{t}} _1\mathrm{\bar{t}} $ and to the charge conjugate final state $\smash {\bar{\tilde{\mathrm{t}}} _1\mathrm{t}}$. The filled circle represents the sum of processes that can lead to gluino pair production. |

Figure 2:
Analysis regions defined for each bin in ${{p_{\mathrm {T}}} ^\text {miss}}$. For the signal models considered here, the regions R1, R2A, R2B, and R3 are dominated by background, while R4A and R4B would have a significant signal contribution. In the combined fit performed to the event yields observed in these regions, signal contributions are allowed in the background-dominated regions. The R2A, R2B, R4A, and R4B regions are further divided into bins of ${N_{\text {jets}}}$ and ${N_{\text {b}}}$, as discussed in the text. |

A representative random sample of T1tttt events with $ {m({\mathrm{\tilde{g}}})} = $ 2100 GeV and $ {m(\tilde{\chi}^0_1)} = $ 100 GeV is also shown for comparison (red squares). Each marker represents one expected event in the full data sample. Overflow events are placed on the edges of the plot. The values of the correlation coefficients $\rho $ for each of the background process are given in the legend. Region R4, which is further split into smaller bins R4A and R4B, is the nominal signal region, while R1, R2, and R3 serve as control regions. This plot is only illustrative, because the boundary between R1 and R2, as well as between R3 and R4, is ${{p_{\mathrm {T}}} ^\text {miss}}$-dependent. The line shown at 400 GeV corresponds to the value used for the lowest ${{p_{\mathrm {T}}} ^\text {miss}}$ bin. Additional sensitivity is obtained by binning the events in ${{p_{\mathrm {T}}} ^\text {miss}}$, ${N_{\text {jets}}}$, and ${N_{\text {b}}}$. |

Uncertainties due to a particular source are treated as fully correlated among bins, while uncertainties due to different sources are treated as uncorrelated. |
Summary |
A search is performed for an excess event yield above that expected for standard model processes using a data sample of proton-proton collision events with an integrated luminosity of 137 fb$^{-1}$ at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV. The experimental signature is characterized by a single isolated lepton, multiple jets, at least one b-tagged jet, and large missing transverse momentum. No significant excesses above the standard model backgrounds are observed. The results are interpreted in the framework of simplified models that describe natural supersymmetry scenarios. For gluino pair production followed by the three-body decay ${\mathrm{\tilde{g}}}\to\mathrm{t\bar{t}}\tilde{\chi}^0_1$ (T1tttt model), gluinos with masses below about 2150 GeV are excluded at 95% confidence level for neutralino masses up to 700 GeV. The highest excluded neutralino mass is about 1250 GeV. For the two-body gluino decay ${\mathrm{\tilde{g}}}\to\tilde{\mathrm{t}}_1\bar{\mathrm{t}}$ with $\tilde{\mathrm{t}}_1\to{\mathrm{t}}\tilde{\chi}^0_1$ (T5tttt model), the results are generally similar, except at low neutralino masses, where the excluded gluino mass is somewhat lower. These results extend previous gluino mass limits [19] from this search by about 250 GeV, due to both the data sample increase and the analysis reoptimization enabled by it. These mass limits are among the most stringent constraints on this supersymmetry model to date. |
