Searches for electroweak production of charginos, neutralinos, and sleptons decaying to leptons and W, Z, and Higgs bosons in pp collisions at √s = 8 TeV

Abstract

Searches for the direct electroweak production of supersymmetric charginos, neutralinos, and sleptons in a variety of signatures with leptons and W, Z, and Higgs bosons are presented. Results are based on a sample of proton-proton collision data collected at center-of-mass energy √s = 8 TeV with the CMS detector in 2012, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.5fb^-1. The observed event rates are in agreement with expectations from the standard model. These results probe charginos and neutralinos with masses up to 720 GeV, and sleptons up to 280 GeV, depending on the model details.

Detailed documentation can be found at SUS-13-006.

This paper is submitted to EPJC arXiv:1405.7570. It merges the results from CMS-PAS-SUS-13-006 and CMS-PAS-SUS-13-017 together.

	Equation 4: An upper endpoint of the distribution.
	Equation 5: An upper endpoint of the distribution.
	Additional Figure: Simulated distribution of the MCTPerp distributions of Standard Model backgrounds and two signal models. The left plots shows the opposite-flavor channel, while the right shows the same-flavor.
	Additional Figure: Comparison of the MCT⊥ shapes of the top control region versus the true top shapes in Monte Carlo simulation in events where the two leptons are of the opposite (a) and same (b) flavor. The Monte Carlo truth histograms from different processes are stacked and their sum normalized to one.
	Additional Figure: Comparison of data and Monte Carlo simulation with all preselection cuts applied. We require three leptons, two of which form an invariant mass consistent with a Z boson. In this region WZ background is dominant, and we see good agreement between data and simulation. A two-sample KS test comparing the data and the WZ simulation gives a p-value of 0.23.
	Additional Figure: Comparison of data and Monte Carlo simulation with all preselection cuts applied, but the Z mass veto inverted in the same flavor channel. In the low MCT⊥ region, the Z/γ∗ background dominates. Discrepancies from this plot are used to assign a shape systematic to the Z template. In the high MCT⊥ region, the ZZ background dominates, and we see that the agreement is quite good. Y-axis scales are a) log and b) linear.
	Additional Figure: Comparison of the MCT⊥ shapes of the non-prompt control region versus the true W+Jets and semileptonic tt shape in Monte Carlo simulation. The shaded region indicates the statistical uncertainty on the signal-region Monte Carlo, which, unlike in other regions, is non- negligible.
	Additional Figure: Monte Carlo closure test of the flavor symmetric background template. The flavor symmetric histogram includes top, WW, and WZ backgrounds.
