Contribution

It introduces a search strategy for supersymmetry involving tau leptons in CMS data at 7 TeV, with no prior results reported for this specific channel.

Findings

No significant excess over Standard Model predictions

Limits set on supersymmetry models involving tau leptons

Analysis based on 1 fb^-1 of CMS data at 7 TeV

Abstract

Searches for new physics in events with hadronic jets, missing transverse energy, and two leptons of which at least one is a hadronically decaying tau are presented. The result is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1 $\fbi$ at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. No significant excess with respect to the standard model predictions is found.
