Disclaimer

  • I was asked to talk about new searches, so I will not

cover classic approaches

  • I will focus on hadronic searches, which I know better
  • I will not show results. There are specific talks for that
  • The talk is CMS-centric, because I am biased and

because results based on “new” approaches mainly come from CMS

A “classic” SUSY search

The typical signature: a lot of energy seen in the detector, recoiling against a lot of MET Several variables to quantify this behavior:

The New Ways

  • The “classic” approach is still pursued by CMS and

ATLAS, adapted to the new detectors

  • New approaches proposed to reduce the QCD to

negligible level and deal with the residual SM background through data-driven control samples

  • Different layers of extra assumptions give different

signal vs. background separation

  • αT: unbalanced events
  • MT2: MET coming from two particles
  • RAZOR variables: pair production of heavy
  • bjects producing two missing particles

αT: BKG Estimate

  • EW bkg is estimated using the RαT (*) ratio
  • This is computed scaling the pT of the jets with the HT threshold, to event

topology

  • The ratio is found to be compatible with the flat hypothesis within the available

data and SM MC statistics

MT2: two missing particles

  • We are looking for events with

two undetected neutral particles leaving the detector

  • We measure the sum of their pT

as MET

  • This is similar to the detection of

the W, for which the edge of the mT distribution is used

  • The presence of two missing

particles make the picture more

  • complicated. But the physics

intuition holds

MT2: two missing particles

11

  • If we could see all the particles, we could compute
  • If we could measure pT(Χ0), but not pz(Χ0), the best we could do would be
  • Since cosh>1, mT≤m, the equality holding for both pz(Χ0)=0. This means that

max(mT) has an “edge” at m

  • For each event we have two values of mT (two copies of the same decay). Both

are such that mT<m. This means that max(mT(1), mT(2))<m

  • We only know pT(Χ01)+ pT(Χ02)=ETmiss. A wrong assignment of the missing

momenta brakes the mT<m condition. But the condition would hold for the correct assignment. This means that min(mT)<mT(true)<m.

  • This defined mT2 as

MT2: two missing particles

  • MT2 is found to be useful for

searches, since it allows to reduce QCD to negligible level

  • Signal is searched on the tail
  • f MT2 in a counting

experiment

  • Other variables could be used

to characterize the signal, in case of a discovery. CMS would use √smin for that

The Razor Frame

  • Two squarks decaying to quark and LSP

. In their rest frames, they are two copies of the same monochromatic decay. In this frame p(q) measures MΔ

  • In the rest frame of the two incoming partons, the

two squarks recoil one against each other.

  • In the lab frame, the two squarks are

boosted longitudinally. The LSPs escape detection and the quarks are detected as two jets

→

If we could see the LSPs, we could boost back by βL, βT, and βCM In this frame, we would then get |pj1| = |pj2| Too many missing degrees of freedom to do just this βL

The Razor Frame

  • In reality, the best we can do is to compensate the missing degrees of

freedom with assumptions on the boost direction

15

  • The parton boost is forced to be

longitudinal

  • The squark boost in the CM frame is

assumed to be transverse

  • We can then determine the two

by requiring that the two jets have the same momentum after the transformation

  • The transformed momentum

defines the MR variable

The Razor Variable

  • MR is boost invariant, even if defined from

3D momenta

  • No information on the MET is used
  • The peak of the MR distribution provides

an estimate of MΔ

  • MΔ could be also estimated as the “edge”
  • f MTR
  • MTR is defined using transverse quantities

and it is MET

  • related
  • The Razor (aka R) is defined as the ratio

The Razor Analysis

  • The backgrounds are characterized

by a turn-on (they have their own MΔ), after which they decay ~ exponentially

  • The two variables exhibit a clear

correlation, regardless of the process under consideration

From DiJet To MultiJets

  • The “new” variables rely on the dijet

+MET final state as a paradigm

  • All the analyses have been extended

to the case of multijet final states clustering jets in two hemispheres (aka mega-jets)

Several approaches used

  • minimizing the HT difference between the mega-jets (aT CMS)
  • minimizing the invariant masses of the two jets (Razor CMS)
  • minimizing the Lund distance (MT2 CMS)
  • ...

  • Is the ultimate hemisphere definition out there

(I am not aware of studies on this)?

  • Could this improve the signal sensitivity in a significant way?

SLIDE 19

How Do These Approaches Compare?

  • A fair comparison is difficult,

because not all the results are provided with the same luminosity

  • A new variable/approach is

not the end of the story. The actual analysis is more than the variable it uses

  • The best limit is not the best
  • sensitivity. The best limit is not

the best analysis (particularly if the cuts are so tight that nothing is left and nothing is expected to be left)

  • The best I found are these

  • With increasing jet

multiplicity, the analyses based

  • n MET are less sensitive to a

signal

  • If objects are light the

situation gets worse (not enough phase space)

  • Analyses have to be modified

Conclusion

  • Lesson from Tevatron taken: CMS and ATLAS fully

committed to “classic” Jet+MET searches

  • In parallel, new directions have been explored,

exploiting specific features of the signal under considerations

  • First results showed the power of the new methods.

More results are coming

  • Increasing luminosity and no excess seen moves to

interest to specific scenarios (eg light stop).

  • Classic analyses migrated already. The new approaches

should too
