Motivation Motivation The aim of the talk is to show the first results from CMS on SUSY searches in the electroweak sector, using a VBF-like topology. The VBF topology includes forward jets with a large η gap in opposite hemispheres of the detector. VBF SUSY provides a new handle to search for new physics in compressed mass-spectra scenarios where the τ and the LSP ( ) are nearly mass degenerate, which is important to prove models that include co-annihilation. Co-annihilation plays an important roll in several thermal dark matter (DM) scenarios in order to obtain the correct relic dark matter density predicted by cosmology.

Motivation Classic SUSY Searches Initial SUSY searches focused on the color sector. These type of signatures have final states with: + jets + leptons(photons) E miss T Andrés Flórez (Uniandes - Colombia) DPF5 August 4, 5 4 / 5
Motivation Dark Matter & Cosmology It is important to directly probe the electroweak SUSY sector Andrés Flórez (Uniandes - Colombia) DPF5 August 4, 5 5 / 5
Electroweak SUSY Searches Searches in the color sector have not yield positive signs of SUSY until now. SUSY searches in the electroweak (EWK) sector open a different avenue to find new physics: Smaller predicted cross sections but lower levels of hadronic activity Complements the color searches The discovery of the Higgs opens up new SUSY searches: Lightest neutral CP even Higgs (h) expected to be SM like, if others are heavy. ± and decay to h+lsp (RPC models) or V (W /Z) + ( LSP) Would provide evidence for SUSY solution to hierarchy problem.

Probing SUSY with VBF (CMS-SUS-45) Probing SUSY with VBF (CMS-SUS-45) Eight final states: µµjj, eµjj, µτ h jj, τ h τ h jj (OS & LS). For the µµjj, eµjj, µτ h jj channels we use an inclusive single muon trigger, while for the τ h τ h jj channels we use a di-tau trigger. Andrés Flórez (Uniandes - Colombia) DPF5 August 4, 5 8 / 5

Probing SUSY with VBF (CMS-SUS-45) Background Estimation Strategy (CMS-SUS-45) We use a common BG estimation methodology across channels: We obtain SFs in high purity CRs to correct for any mismodeling in simulation, after applying central selections (No VBF selections). When possible, we measure the VBF efficiency from data. The contribution of a given BG in the SR, estimated with the method described above, is performed using the following formula: N Data BG = NMC CR BG (central) SFcentral ɛcr VBF (m jj) 4 A closure test is performed in MC. The difference between the nominal and predicted yields in the closure test, is taken as a systematic error. 5 When possible we also perform closure tests with data. 6 We check that the signal contamination in the CRs is negligible. If the BGs are small, when possible we first show that the VBF shapes are well modelled in simulation and then simply correct the MC prediction with a SF: N Data BG = NMC BG (SR) SF CR central Andrés Flórez (Uniandes - Colombia) DPF5 August 4, 5 / 5
Probing SUSY with VBF (CMS-SUS-45) t t Background Estimation For OS/LS µµ (CMS-SUS-45) t t is the largest BG source for both µµ channels (OS & LS) The estimation of this BG is done in a semi-data-driven way. Three CRs are used: CR: SFcentral CR for central selections for OS events. CR: SFcentral CR for central selections for LS events. CR: measure VBF efficiency and dijet mass shape from data.

A combined observed upper bound limit of 8 GeV and an expected limit on 95 GeV is set, for the large mass gap scenario where the mass difference between the chargino and the slepton is 5 GeV and the LSP mass is GeV. For the compressed mass spectra scenario, where the mass difference between the chargino and the LSP is 5 GeV, we set a combined observed upper bound limit of 7 GeV and an expected limit of 8 GeV. σ [fb] - CMS Preliminary 9.7 fb (8 TeV) ± τ ν, τ τ, τ µµ, eµ, µτ h, τ h τ h Observed Expected ± σ, m Expected ± σ, m σ(pp jj) (LO) m ± - m = GeV - m τ = 5 GeV = 5 GeV 5 5 5 4 ± = m [GeV] Andrés Flórez (Uniandes - Colombia) DPF5 August 4, 5 7 / 5 m
