Search for R-parity-violating supersymmetry in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 8 TeV in events with large jet and b-jet multiplicity
Abstract: Preliminary results are reported from a search for new physics beyond the standard model (SM) in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy $ \sqrt{s}= $ 8 TeV, focusing on the signature of large multiplicity of jets and b-tagged jets. The data sample comprises an integrated luminosity of 19.5 fb$^{-1}$ recorded by the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The results are used to exclude gluinos with $m_{\rm gluino} <$ 980 GeV in an R-parity violating supersymmetric extension of the standard model in which each gluino decays via $ \mathrm{ \widetilde{ g} \to {tbs} } $.
