WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

That’s a lot of new particles and decay modes we can potentially discover

Couplings are fixed by the symmetry with SM

Masses are unknown, until we figure out how the symmetry is broken Mixing of winos, binos, zinos, higgsinos

WHY SUSY IS COOL

  • Electroweak symmetry breaking

predicted and natural

  • SUSY Particles closely related to the Higgs

mass required to be light by naturalness.

  • Dark Matter candidate
  • Require R-parity conservation - lightest

particle stable, pair production

  • Unification of Forces

GLUINO SUMMARY PLOT

❖ Each curve is a different

model, combining limits from relevant channels

❖ All curve but yellow have

neutralino LSP (mass on y- axis)

❖ For light LSP, limits in

1800-2250 GeV

❖ For small g-LSP mass

difference, mass down to 1000-1200 GeV allowed

BACKGROUND ESTIMATE

❖ Irreducible from MC, the main ones (ttW, ttZ, WZ) compared to data in

dedicated validation regions

❖ Charge flip electrons : 2 OS ee in data reweighted by measured (in Z

events) charge flip probability

❖ Fake and non prompt leptons : matrix method (loose selection in data,

plus loose-to-tight probabilities measured in control samples)

STOP SUMMARY PLOT

❖ The simplest model has a stop

decaying directly to top LSP (blue curve)

❖ If charginos and heavy

neutralinos are in the decay chain, more complex final states

❖ Typical limits range from 400

GeV (small mass difference) to 1000 GeV (light LSP)

❖ Here focus on some recent

results

STOP 3-BODY

❖ Direct decay to LSP, but mass difference not enough

for on-shell top quark

❖ Limits 36 fb-1 : 420-580 GeV on stop mass ❖ Soft decay products, difficult S/B discrimination

RJ-like 3-lepton analysis

❖ 3-lepton channel ❖ Recursive Jigsaw [PRD 95 (2017)

035031] :

❖ Assume a specific decay chain ❖ Perform a series of Lorentz boosts between

frames

❖ Determine unknowns (like pzmiss) with

Jigsaw rules

❖ Provides 4-vector of each particle in the

assumed decay chain

❖ A new search uses “conventional”

variables that emulates the RJ variables (i.e. are very correlated)

❖ pT(I) replaced by ETMISS, ISR replaced

by sum of all jets in lab frame, etc.

❖ Same selection as RJ 2015-16 paper in the emulated variables ❖ In SR-low, find the same 2015-16 events; a bit more data and background events for

SR-ISR, with similar significance

❖ Main irreducible background is WZ, estimated from low mT CR, validated in VRs ❖ Fake lepton background estimated from anti-ID lepton based selection times the ID/

antiID ratios measured in data control samples (fake factor method)

Conclusions

❖ Searches for supersymmetry are pursued vigorously - several new

results have just been released with the full run2 dataset

❖ No hint of a signal, limits are extended both at high mass and

filling more difficult low mass scenarios

❖ First limits on degenerate and left stau direct production have been

set !

STOP - MORE COMPLEX DECAYS

Naturalness (need light higgsinos) and relic density consideration make an 100% stop decay to the LSP not very

  • likely. With more complex decay patterns, limits are weaker

ATLAS RJR EWK SEARCH

3 leptons 2 leptons + 2jets Targeted by two papers :

❖ “conventional” discriminating variables [EPJ C78 (2018)

995, arXiv:1803.02762]

❖ Recursive Jigsaw Reconstruction [PRD 98 (2018) 092012,

arXiv:1806.02293] Complementary (similar sensitivity to target simplified model, but selecting different events / phase space) What is Recursive Jigsaw Reconstruction ?

❖ Assume a specific decay chain ❖ Perform a series of Lorentz boosts

between frames

❖ Determine unknowns (like pzmiss) with

Jigsaw rules

❖ Provides 4-vector of each particle in the

assumed decay chain References :

SIMPLIFIED MODELS

❖ We provide a benchmark simplified

model limits

❖ For interpretations in other scenarios

we provide in publications

❖ Cross section limits as a function of

mass [for models with a different σ x BR but same final state]

❖ truth-level acceptances and

efficiencies [validate simplified simulation codes]

❖ model-independent limits on the

number of BSM events
