Searching for supersymmetry scalelessly

TL;DR

This paper introduces a scale-invariant search strategy for detecting supersymmetric particles in hadronic top or bottom plus missing energy final states, with consistent efficiency across various parameters.

Contribution

The paper presents a novel, scale-invariant method for SUSY searches that maintains flat efficiencies and background rejection, adaptable to different models.

Findings

Method shows flat efficiencies over broad parameter ranges.

Effective background rejection across diverse masses.

Can be recast into limits on alternative models.

Abstract

In this paper we propose a scale invariant search strategy for hadronic top or bottom plus missing energy final states. We present a method which shows flat efficiencies and background rejection factors over broad ranges of parameters and masses. The resulting search can be easily recast into a limit on alternative models. We show the strength of the method in a natural SUSY setup where stop and sbottom squarks are pair produced and decay into hadronically decaying top quarks or bottom quarks and higgsinos.
