SUSY Searches in Di-lepton Events at CMS Why di-leptonic final states? CMS SUSY searches cover wide range of final states Leptons (especially e and µ) provide handle to control QCD and other SM backgrounds Di-leptonic final states represent good compromise between background control and production rate CMS di-lepton SUSY searches Selection of analyses performed on 5 fb of 7 ev data (2) and 4 fb of 8 ev data (22) wo leptons, jet activity and ing transverse energy ( E ) required Mainly data-driven methods for background estimation D.
