# Search for SUSY in the inclusive diphoton final state using the razor variables

## Abstract

A search for supersymmetry in pp collisions, in events with at least two photons and one jet, is presented. The dataset, collected at a center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV in 2012, corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb$^{−1}$. The signal is characterized as a peak on a falling background in the razor kinematic variable $M_R$, for events in the tail of the razor ratio $R^2$. The observed event distribution in $M_R$ is compatible with the prediction derived by the events with small values of $R^2$. This result is interpreted as an exclusion limit on a set of simpliﬁed model spectra for squarks and gluinos, inspired by the phenomenology of gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking.

## Figures in the PAS

Figures Caption
Figure 1: Signal vs. Background distributions in $\mathrm{M_R}$ for the two interpretations: (a) squark-gluino model (b) T5gg model. The background model is normalized to the number of events in the signal region. The signal points are normalized to integrated luminosity times selection efficiency times theoretical cross section.
Figure 2: Data distribution for $\mathrm{M_R}$ in the fake-fake control sample (a) in the control region and (b) in the signal region. For each $\mathrm{M_R}$ bin, the data (filled dots) are compared to the $68\%$ range obtained from the fit in the control region and extrapolated to the signal region, represented by the blue outlined band. The empty dots represent the center of the $68\%$ range. The bottom panel of each figure gives the z-score (number of gaussian standard deviations) comparing the filled dots to the band. The purple band shows the position of the $68\%$ window about the expected value.
Figure 3: Data distribution for $\mathrm{M_R}$ in a sample of fake-fake data events and injected with simulated squark and gluino events. Squark and gluino masses are set to $m_{\widetilde{q}} = 1400$ GeV and $m_{\widetilde{g}} = 1820$ GeV respectively, and the production cross section is fixed to $\sigma = 2.7$ fb. The signal contribution is shown by the red histogram. For each $\mathrm{M_R}$ bin, the data (filled dots) are compared to the $68\%$ range obtained from the fit in the control region and extrapolated to the signal region, represented by the blue outlined band. The empty dots represent the center of the $68\%$ range. The bottom panel of each figure gives the z-score (number of gaussian standard deviations) comparing the filled dots to the band. The purple band shows the position of the $68\%$ window about the expected value.
Figure 4: Data distribution for $\mathrm{M_R}$ in the data (a) control region and (b) signal region. For each $\mathrm{M_R}$ bin, the data (filled dots) are compared to the $68\%$ range obtained from the fit in the control region and extrapolated to the signal region, represented by the colored band. The empty dots represent the center of the $68\%$ range. The bottom panel of each figure gives the z-score obtained comparing the filled dots to the band.The purple band shows the position of the $68\%$ window about the expected value.
Figure 5: Feynman diagram for (a) squark-squark production, (b) squark-squark decaying through gluino-gluino, and (c) gluino-gluino decaying through squark-squark in the squark-gluino model and (d) for gluino-gluino in the simplified model T5gg.
Figure 6: Excluded mass region for (a) squark-gluino model and (b) T5gg. The red (black) dashed line shows the expected (observed) limit. The thin dashed blue line and band show the $68\%$ range about the expected limit. The black solid line quantifies the impact of the theoretical uncertainty in the cross section on the observed limit. The color code to the right of the figure shows the excluded cross section for each set of mass values.

## Benchmark Signal Points

Selection yields for benchmark signal points. The baseline Razor selection is $M_R > 600$ GeV and $R^{2} > .01$ with a signal region of $R^{2} > .02$. Errors are statistical.
