Disclaimer

  • I was asked to talk about new searches, so I will not

cover classic approaches

  • I will focus on hadronic searches, which I know better
  • I will not show results. There are specific talks for that
  • The talk is CMS-centric, because I am biased and

because results based on “new” approaches mainly come from CMS

A “classic” SUSY search

The typical signature: a lot of energy seen in the detector, recoiling against a lot of MET Several variables to quantify this behavior:

The New Ways

  • The “classic” approach is still pursued by CMS and

ATLAS, adapted to the new detectors

  • New approaches proposed to reduce the QCD to

negligible level and deal with the residual SM background through data-driven control samples

  • Different layers of extra assumptions give different

signal vs. background separation

  • αT: unbalanced events
  • MT2: MET coming from two particles
  • RAZOR variables: pair production of heavy
  • bjects producing two missing particles

αT: BKG Estimate

  • EW bkg is estimated using the RαT (*) ratio
  • This is computed scaling the pT of the jets with the HT threshold, to event

topology

  • The ratio is found to be compatible with the flat hypothesis within the available

data and SM MC statistics

MT2: two missing particles

  • We are looking for events with

two undetected neutral particles leaving the detector

  • We measure the sum of their pT

as MET

  • This is similar to the detection of

the W, for which the edge of the mT distribution is used

  • The presence of two missing

particles make the picture more

  • complicated. But the physics

MT2: two missing particles

11

  • If we could see all the particles, we could compute
  • If we could measure pT(Χ0), but not pz(Χ0), the best we could do would be
  • Since cosh>1, mT≤m, the equality holding for both pz(Χ0)=0. This means that

max(mT) has an “edge” at m

  • For each event we have two values of mT (two copies of the same decay). Both

are such that mT<m. This means that max(mT(1), mT(2))<m

  • We only know pT(Χ01)+ pT(Χ02)=ETmiss. A wrong assignment of the missing

momenta brakes the mT<m condition. But the condition would hold for the correct assignment. This means that min(mT)<mT(true)<m.

  • This defined mT2 as

MT2: two missing particles

  • MT2 is found to be useful for

searches, since it allows to reduce QCD to negligible level

  • Signal is searched on the tail
  • f MT2 in a counting

experiment

  • Other variables could be used

to characterize the signal, in case of a discovery. CMS would use √smin for that

The Razor Frame

14

  • Two squarks decaying to quark and LSP

. In their rest frames, they are two copies of the same monochromatic decay. In this frame p(q) measures MΔ

  • In the rest frame of the two incoming partons, the

two squarks recoil one against each other.

M∆ ≡ M2

˜ q − M2 ˜ χ

= 2M ˜

χγ∆β∆ ,

  • In the lab frame, the two squarks are

boosted longitudinally. The LSPs escape detection and the quarks are detected as two jets

If we could see the LSPs, we could boost back by βL, βT, and βCM In this frame, we would then get |pj1| = |pj2| Too many missing degrees of freedom to do just this βL

The Razor Frame

  • In reality, the best we can do is to compensate the missing degrees of

freedom with assumptions on the boost direction

15

  • The parton boost is forced to be

longitudinal

  • The squark boost in the CM frame is

assumed to be transverse

  • We can then determine the two

by requiring that the two jets have the same momentum after the transformation

  • The transformed momentum

defines the MR variable

The Razor Variable

  • MR is boost invariant, even if defined from

3D momenta

  • No information on the MET is used
  • The peak of the MR distribution provides

an estimate of MΔ

  • MΔ could be also estimated as the “edge”
  • f MTR
  • MTR is defined using transverse quantities

and it is MET

  • related
  • The Razor (aka R) is defined as the ratio

The Razor Analysis

  • The backgrounds are characterized

by a turn-on (they have their own MΔ), after which they decay ~ exponentially

  • The two variables exhibit a clear

correlation, regardless of the process under consideration

From DiJet To MultiJets

  • The “new” variables rely on the dijet

+MET final state as a paradigm

  • All the analyses have been extended

to the case of multijet final states clustering jets in two hemispheres (aka mega-jets)

Several approaches used

  • minimizing the HT difference between the mega-jets (aT CMS)
  • minimizing the invariant masses of the two jets (Razor CMS)
  • minimizing the Lund distance (MT2 CMS)
  • ...

  • Is the ultimate hemisphere definition out there

(I am not aware of studies on this)?

  • Could this improve the signal sensitivity in a significant way?

SLIDE 19

How Do These Approaches Compare?

  • A fair comparison is difficult,

because not all the results are provided with the same luminosity

  • A new variable/approach is

not the end of the story. The actual analysis is more than the variable it uses

  • The best limit is not the best
  • sensitivity. The best limit is not

the best analysis (particularly if the cuts are so tight that nothing is left and nothing is expected to be left)

  • The best I found are these

  • With increasing jet

multiplicity, the analyses based

  • n MET are less sensitive to a

signal

  • If objects are light the

situation gets worse (not enough phase space)

  • Analyses have to be modified

Conclusion

  • Lesson from Tevatron taken: CMS and ATLAS fully

committed to “classic” Jet+MET searches

  • In parallel, new directions have been explored,

exploiting specific features of the signal under considerations

  • First results showed the power of the new methods.

More results are coming

  • Increasing luminosity and no excess seen moves to

interest to specific scenarios (eg light stop).

  • Classic analyses migrated already. The new approaches

should too
