# Searches for strong production of supersymmetry in CMS

## TL;DR

This paper reports on CMS searches for supersymmetric particles, excluding gluinos and squarks up to 2 TeV, using advanced analysis techniques like razor variables to distinguish signals from background.

## Contribution

The paper introduces the use of razor variables in CMS supersymmetry searches, enhancing the discrimination between background and potential signals.

## Key findings

- Gluinos and squarks are excluded up to about 2 TeV.
- Razor variables improve background discrimination.
- Analysis techniques are detailed and demonstrated.

## Abstract

Searches for production of supersymmetric partners of gluons and quarks with the CMS experiment at CERN's LHC have excluded these particles for masses up to about 2 TeV. The paper will present results and show the analysis techniques in these searches, with an emphasis on the use of razor variables for the discrimination between standard model backgrounds and signal.
