| 23 August 2023 | ||
| Abstract: A search for long-lived particles produced in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV at the CERN LHC is presented. The search is based on data collected by the CMS experiment in 2016--2018 and corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 137 fb$ ^{-1} $. This search is designed to be sensitive to long-lived particles with mean proper decay lengths between 0.1 and 1000 mm whose decay products produce a final state with at least one displaced vertex and missing transverse momentum. The observation is consistent with the standard model background prediction, and the results are used to constrain split supersymmetry models with different mean proper decay lengths and gluino masses. Gluinos with mean proper decay lengths between 1 and 100 mm are excluded at 95% confidence level in models for which the gluino mass is below 1800 and 2000 GeV when the difference in the gluino and neutrino masses is, respectively, 100 and 200 GeV. These limits are the most stringent to date for signal models with proper decay lengths up to 100 mm. | ||

Figure 2:
This diagram illustrates the architecture of the IN, where the flow of data is indicated by arrows. Rectangular boxes represent data matrices, while diamonds represent multilayer perceptrons (MLPs). The input information ($ O $) is integrated with relation matrices ($ R_{\text{r}} $, $ R_{\text{s}} $, and $ R_{\text{a}} $) to form a graph that captures interactions between tracks. This graph is subsequently processed by an MLP ($ \phi_{\text{R}} $) to compute the effect ($ E $) of the interactions. The effect is then combined with $ R_{\text{r}} $ and merged with the original input $ O $ to form $ C $. To assess the influence ($ P $) of the effect on the original information, it undergoes further processing via another MLP ($ \phi_{\text{O}} $). Finally, the influence is passed through an MLP ($ \phi_{\text{output}} $) and a sigmoid function to produce the final output. |

| Summary |
| A search for the production of long-lived particles that decay to at least one displaced vertex with missing transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected by the CMS detector is presented. The analysis extends the previous CMS search [24] by improving the sensitivity to events with low total jet energy, targeting events with as few as one displaced vertex, and introducing a dedicated machine learning algorithm. A benchmark signal model, split supersymmetry, is used for statistical interpretation in this search. The search sets 95% confidence level upper limits on long-lived gluinos with mass below 1800 GeV for mean proper decay lengths in the range of 1 to 100 mm, when the mass splitting is 100 GeV. For a 200 GeV mass splitting, gluinos with mass below 2000 GeV for mean proper decay lengths between 1 and 100 mm are excluded. |
