Abstract

Naturalness, especially in light of the recent results of Higgs boson searches, motivates the existence of light third-generation squarks, well within the eventual reach of the LHC. Depending on the specific production (gluino-mediated or direct) and decay (two- or three-body decay, charged or neutral current) scenario, the signal kinematics can differ significantly. Therefore, one needs dedicated analyses targeting these different options. In this poster we present results of searches for the direct production of top squark pairs in proton-proton collisions recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC.

Highlights

  • In this poster we present results of searches for the direct production of top squark pairs in proton-proton collisions recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC

  • Supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model (SM) address several issues present in the SM, such as how the Higgs boson can remain light

  • One needs dedicated analyses targeting these different options. In this poster we present results of searches for the direct production of top squark pairs in proton-proton collisions recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC

Summary

Introduction

In this poster we present results of searches for the direct production of top squark pairs in proton-proton collisions recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC. One can consider several production and decay modes of top and bottom squarks. CMS analyses that interpret their results in terms of direct top squark pair production are summarized. Results for several of these search regions are shown in figure 2.
