Search for Supersymmetry with Photon at CMS

TL;DR

This paper reports on CMS searches for supersymmetry involving photons, using early LHC data, finding no excess over the Standard Model and setting mass limits on SUSY particles.

Contribution

First search for SUSY with photons at CMS using 7 TeV data, establishing new mass limits in gauge-mediated models.

Findings

No excess events observed over Standard Model predictions.

Limits set on squark, gluino, and wino masses.

Demonstrates the sensitivity of CMS to SUSY signatures with photons.

Abstract

We present the searches for supersymmetry (SUSY) in two channels, two photons plus missing transverse energy and a photon plus a lepton plus missing transverse energy with the CMS detector using approximately 36 $\rm{pb}^{-1}$ of pp collision at 7 TeV. No excess of events above the standard model predictions is found. Limits are set for the squark, gluino and wino masses in the general gauge-mediated SUSY context.
