ATLAS Searches for SUSY
Chris Young, CERN ATLAS Group
Introduction
◮ There are searches for both RPC and RPV SUSY (although many more
RPC).
◮ Experimentally we divide our searches into 3 categories driven by the
production mode.
◮ This is motivated by the very different signatures that result from the
decays.

Searches For Strong Production (RPC)
◮ Strong production has the highest cross-section at a p-p collider →
highest mass reach.
◮ For RPC SUSY we assume to have a neutralino (or gravitino) LSP such
that there will be E miss
T
◮ Strong decays will produce jets and then searches are split by the number
- f leptons also required.
◮ Most searches favour a strategy of cutting hard on the sum of transverse
momenta of objects meff and E miss
T
to reduce the SM backgrounds.1
◮ Background determination is then performed by performing a
simultaneous fit in “control regions” which are rich in different SM background with similar kinematic cuts and the “signal region(s)”. Monte-Carlo is used to evaluate the ratios between regions.
◮ Fits are performed both for the background only hypothesis and for each
point in the models used for interpretation such that signal contamination in the “control regions” is taken into account.
1There are some exceptions to this.

◮ Background estimation comes from “control regions” which require a
lepton and require/veto the presence of a b-jet (for t¯ t and W +jets) or a high pT photon (for Z+jets).
◮ The Monte-Carlo is seen to describe the data well in these regions and a
simultaneous fit gives the expectation in the SR.

◮ Interpretation in many different decay chains. ◮ Clear complementarity between hard and soft lepton regions. ◮ The soft lepton signal regions, with leptons with pT < 25 GeV, cover the
more compressed scenarios close to the diagonal on the plot.
◮ The hard lepton analysis loses sensitivity in these areas as the phase space
for the decay products of the pair produced SUSY particles is reduced.
◮ Also similar sensitivity to 0-lepton channels in the same models. ◮ Many further interpretations provided to those shown here.

Strong Production (RPC) : 2 SS leptons + ≥0-3 b-jets
ATLAS-CONF-2013-007
◮ A selection of same-sign di-leptons results in very low Standard Model
backgrounds.
◮ Backgrounds result from rare processes (eg. WZ, t¯
t+V) and also from when we measure the charge wrong (charge-flip) or when one of the leptons is non-prompt (eg. from a b-hadron decay).
◮ Due to low background rates an ideal channel to search in difficult areas
- f parameter space.

◮ In the 2-τ channel there is a significant fake τ background that is
estimated in a data-driven way.
◮ These searches also set limits on direct slepton production.

Electro-weak Production Searches (RPC) : 3-lepton search

◮ For a 3-lepton selection one of the primary backgrounds is WZ
production.
◮ The analysis splits events into regions where there is an opposite sign
same flavour lepton pair near the Z mass and when there isn’t.
◮ This is the reason for the interesting shape to the exclusion in the
simplified model.

Electro-weak Production Searches (RPC) : WH decay

◮ As a new boson has been discovered and its mass has been measured this
information can now be used in searches where it might show up.
◮ Sensitivity is found for chargino-neutralino production where they decay
via a W and a Higgs boson respectively.
◮ The invariant mass of the b-tagged jets is a key distinguishing variable
between the signal and the background.

ATLAS Searches for SUSY
Chris Young, CERN ATLAS Group
RPV Searches and Long lived particles
◮ Firstly, some of the RPC searches can be quite effective in RPV scenarios
(as seen in some of the interpretations and also in re-interpretation literature).
◮ There are also dedicated searches for RPV signatures:
◮ High jet multiplicity ATLAS-CONF-2013-091 ◮ ≥4 leptons ATLAS-CONF-2013-036
◮ SUSY particles can be long lived due to:
◮ Weak couplings (e.g. in RPV, gravitino) ◮ Very small mass splittings (e.g. AMSB) ◮ Very heavy mediator particles (e.g. split SUSY)
◮ We have searches looking for these signature too:
◮ Stopped gluinos and squark R-Hadrons arXiv:1310.6584 ◮ Disappearing tracks arXiv:1310.3675 ◮ Muon+displaced vertex ATLAS-CONF-2013-092 ◮ Long lived sleptons ATLAS-CONF-2013-058

Others Searches
◮ I haven’t been able to cover all the searches that ATLAS has performed
in the quest for SUSY.
◮ Additional searches requiring hadronic taus, Z → ll and photons have
also been performed to cover these important signatures.
◮ Also the exotics group performs a wide
range of searches which are applicable to some SUSY scenarios. (link)

ATLAS Searches for SUSY
Chris Young, CERN ATLAS Group
Conclusions
◮ ATLAS has performed a wide variety of searches for Supersymmetry using
the Run 1 dataset.
◮ Simplified models have proved very useful in this procedure with several
search strategies a direct consequence of using them eg.
◮ Soft lepton strong production analysis covering compressed scenarios ◮ The variety of stop searches covering the different decay modes ◮ Others...
