Search for new physics in the lepton plus missing transverse momentum final state in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV center-of-mass energy
Abstract: A search for physics beyond the standard model in final states with an electron, or muon, and missing transverse momentum is presented. The analysis uses data from proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV center-of-mass energy, collected with the CMS detector at the LHC in 2016, 2017, and 2018 corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 137 fb$^{-1}$. No significant deviation from the standard model prediction is observed. Model-independent limits are set on the production cross section of W' bosons decaying into lepton plus neutrino final states. This analysis also sets limits on the parameters of other new physics models. The best exclusion limit obtained is 5.7 TeV at 95% confidence level on the mass of a sequential standard model W' boson with standard-model-like couplings and comes from combining electron and muon decay channels. Results on oblique electroweak parameters, in particular on the W parameter, are also presented, for the first time using LHC data.

Summary
A search for a deviation relative to SM expectations in events with a final state consisting of a lepton (electron or muon) and missing transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions at a center of mass energy of 13 TeV has been performed. This search used data collected by the CMS detector between 2016 and 2018 corresponding to 137 fb$^{-1}$ of total integrated luminosity. The analysis strategy is similar to the previous study [17]. No evidence for new physics was observed when examining the transverse mass distributions. These observations are interpreted as limits on the parameters of several models.

The 95% CL exclusion limits on an SSM W' boson are set to be 5.4 (5.6) TeV for the electron (muon) channels. When combining both channels a 95% CL limit of 5.7 TeV is obtained. These results yield the best limits to date on the split universal extra dimension model's parameters. For this model, the inverse radius of the extra dimension $1/R$ is constrained by this analysis to be 2.8 TeV at $\mu =$ 2 TeV.

In addition, model-independent limits are provided. The R-parity violating SUSY model is reinterpreted by using the model-independent limit. Limits on the coupling strengths at the decay vertex have been derived as a function of the mediator $\tilde{\tau}$ mass, for various coupling values, $\lambda^{\prime}_{3ij}$, at the production vertex.

This is the first time using the dilepton final states within LHC Run 2 data to derive the exclusion limits on the oblique W parameter coming from an effective field theory interpretation of data and SM expectation. The allowed range of the W oblique parameter is reduced by more than an order of magnitude relative to previous results at LEP experiments.
