Abstract

We report on recent results by the CMS Collaboration on searches for supersymmetry based on a sample of proton-proton collision data at √s = 13 TeV, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb-1.

Highlights

  • Supersymmetry (SUSY) [1] is a well-motivated theory beyond the standard model (SM) which provides solutions to several open questions in particle physics, e.g. the cancellation of quadratically divergent loop corrections to the mass of the Higgs boson

  • In R-Parity [2] conserving SUSY, the lightest SUSY particle (LSP) is stable and can be a viable dark matter candidate. In this tal√k we review recent results published by the CMS Collaboration [3] based on the Run II dataset at s = 13 TeV, with results interpreted in the context of Simplified Models (SMS) [4]-[8], while the full suite of available results can be found in the CMS SUSY public results page [9]

  • In order to evaluate the background due to the τh, a control regions (CR) is used with exactly one isolated muon and the similarities between the the μ+jets and τh+jets are exploited; to this end, each μ is smeared through random sampling of τh response function derived from simulation
