Results set constraints on electroweak SUSY models.

Abstract

Using the data collected during Run I of LHC operation the CMS Collaboration performed multiple analyses searching for the direct electroweak production of supersymmetric particles in proton-proton collisions. Different decay modes of the gauginos and sleptons were considered, through intermediate vector bosons or Higgs bosons, or directly to leptons. A set of complementary searches were designed to target these different decays. None of these searches shows any indication for physics beyond the standard model.
