| Inclusive search for supersymmetry using the razor variables at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV | ||

| December 2015 | ||
| Abstract: An inclusive search for supersymmetry with the razor variables is performed using a data sample of proton-proton collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.1 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the CMS experiment at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV. The search covers events with zero or one lepton, and four or more jets in the final state. No significant excess over the background prediction is observed in data, and 95\% confidence level exclusion limits are placed on the masses of new heavy particles in a variety of simplified models. Assuming the neutralino is the lightest supersymmetric particle with a mass of 100 GeV and the gluino decays to a neutralino and a bottom quark-antiquark pair, the pair production of gluinos is excluded for gluino masses up to 1650 GeV. For the corresponding decays to top quarks and first or second generation quarks, gluinos with masses up to 1600 GeV and 1350 GeV are excluded, respectively. | ||

Figure 3-a:
The result of the background-only fit performed in the sideband on a signal-plus-background toy dataset using gluino pair-production simplified models signals, where gluinos decay with a 100% branching fraction to a $ \mathrm{ t \bar{t} } $ pair and the LSP, with $m_{\tilde{g}} = $ 1400 GeV and $m_{\tilde{\chi }}=$ 100 GeV, at nominal signal strength. One-dimensional representations of the fit result for the 2 b-tag (top left) and $\geq 3$ b-tag categories (bottom left) are shown on the left, where the uncertainty band for the sideband bins are shown in green. Vertical dashed lines denote the boundaries of different $M_R$ bins, as defined in Fig. 2. The distributions of deviations in the $R^2$-$M_R$ plane, expressed in units of standard deviations, are shown on the right for the 2 b-tag (top right) and $\geq 3$ b-tag categories (bottom right). Statistical and systematic uncertainties are both considered in the calculation of the deviations. |

Interpretation of the search results with razor variables in the context of the gluino pair-production simplified model, in which the gluino decays with a 100% branching fraction to a $ \mathrm{ b \bar{b} } $ pair and the LSP. The color coding indicates the observed 95% CL upper limit on the signal cross section. The dashed and solid lines represent the expected and observed exclusion contours at 95% CL, respectively. The solid contours around the observed limit and the dashed contours around the expected one represent the one standard deviation theoretical uncertainties in the cross section and the combination of the statistical and experimental systematic uncertainties, respectively. |
