Searches for supersymmetry in CMS

TL;DR

This paper summarizes the CMS experiment's search for supersymmetric particles using Run-2 data at 13 TeV, finding no significant deviations from the Standard Model and setting mass limits on SUSY particles.

Contribution

First comprehensive CMS search for SUSY particles at 13 TeV covering multiple production modes and final states, establishing new mass exclusion limits.

Findings

No significant excess observed over Standard Model predictions.

Upper limits set on masses of squarks, gluinos, charginos, neutralinos, and sleptons.

Results constrain SUSY parameter space significantly.

Abstract

The results from the CMS search for supersymmetric particles based on Run-2 data recorded at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV are summarized. Strong and weak production of SUSY scenarios are considered. Results presented include the searches for squarks and gluinos, direct production of charginos, neutralinos, and sleptons. These searches involve final state objects comprising jets, missing transverse momentum, electrons or muons, taus or photons, as well as long-lived particles. The data in these searches are found to be consistent with standard model predictions and no significant excess is observed. Upper limits have been set on the masses of supersymmetric particles from a variety of search channels.
