Abstract
The searches presented in this summary correspond to the electroweak (EWK) pair production of neutralinos (χ˜i0) and charginos (χ˜1±) decaying to Higgs (h), Z, and W bosons, and the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP). The searches were performed using 19.5 fb-1 of data from proton-proton collisions at the LHC, at a center of mass energy of 8 TeV collected in 2012 by the CMS detector. The main production modes correspond to pair production of χ˜i0, where each χ˜i0 decays to a h or a Z boson and a LSP, resulting in final states with hh, hZ and ZZ, with associated missing transverse energy (ETmiss). A second mechanism is the pair production χ˜1±χ˜i0, which leads to hW states in addition to ETmiss. The observed data is consistent with the estimation of the SM backgrounds. Therefore, no evidence of supersymmetric particles is found, and 95% confidence level upper limits are set on the pair production cross section of the respective process as a function of the χ˜i0 and χ˜1± masses.
