Inclusive search for supersymmetry in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV using razor variables and boosted object identification in zero and one lepton final states
An inclusive search for supersymmetry (SUSY) using the razor variables is performed using a data sample of proton-proton collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1 , collected with the CMS experiment in 2016 at a center-of-mass energy of √ s = 13 TeV. The search looks for...

| Summary: | An inclusive search for supersymmetry (SUSY) using the razor variables is
performed using a data sample of proton-proton collisions corresponding to an integrated
luminosity of 35.9 fb−1
, collected with the CMS experiment in 2016 at a center-of-mass
energy of √
s = 13 TeV. The search looks for an excess of events with large transverse
energy, large jet multiplicity, and large missing transverse momentum. The razor kinematic
variables are sensitive to large mass differences between the parent particle and the invisible
particles of a decay chain and help to identify the presence of SUSY particles. The search
covers final states with zero or one charged lepton and features event categories divided
according to the presence of a high transverse momentum hadronically decaying W boson
or top quark, the number of jets, the number of b-tagged jets, and the values of the razor
kinematic variables, in order to separate signal from background for a broad range of
SUSY signatures. The addition of the boosted W boson and top quark categories within
the analysis further increases the sensitivity of the search, particularly to signal models
with large mass splitting between the produced gluino or squark and the lightest SUSY
particle. The analysis is interpreted using simplified models of R-parity conserving SUSY,
focusing on gluino pair production and top squark pair production. Limits on the gluino
mass extend to 2.0 TeV, while limits on top squark mass reach 1.14 TeV. |
