| Abstract: This note presents a search for direct production of bottom or top squark pairs in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}= $ 13 TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016. The data used correspond to an integrated luminosity of 36 fb$^{-1}$. This search is performed in a final state of two, three, or four jets accompanied by a significant imbalance in the transverse momentum. No statistically significant excess of events is found beyond the expected contribution from standard model processes. Exclusion limits are set in the context of simplified models of bottom- or top-squark pair production. Bottom squarks with masses below 1225 GeV are excluded at 95%CL for small values of the neutralino mass. Top squarks with masses below 525 GeV are excluded if the mass difference to the lightest neutralino is close to 10 GeV. | ||
