Why SUperSYmmetryWhy SUperSYmmetry Standard Model weknesses:
—Hierarchy problem: large contributions to W, Z and Higgs masses from new physics at the Planck scale. —Distinct coupling constants: for Electromagnetic, Weak and Strong interactions— Non Unification of interactions— Too many papameters (19)
- SUSY solves the hierarchy problem
—One-loop quantum corrections in Higgs (mH2) mass from a Dirac
Fermion (left) and from a scalar (right) from new physics at the Planck scale (ΛUV ~ Planck scale)

Gauge mediation is used for the soft SUSY symmetry breaking in the MSSM (arXiv:0801.3278v3)
—Gravitino is the LSP → experimental signature: Missing transverse energy (MET)
—Neutralino is the NLSP
Work hypothesis is the R-parity conservation: two LSP's per event
Challenge: understanding the background

Photons are important ingredients in SUSY final states
We would like to exploit our sensitivity to detect Photons (Excellent detection, reconstruction efficiency and Energy resolution of the CMS ECAL detector: O(0.5%)) → clean experimental signature

Reconstruction of EM objectsReconstruction of EM objects Combine information from the Calorimeters and the tracking detectors
– Superclusters of energy deposition in ECAL
• Photons: equivalently low energy in HCAL
– Tracks are reconstructed from their trace at the Si CMS tracker (pixel + strips)
• Combines superclusters with tracks• Existence of track → electron• NO track → photon

Jet reconstructionJet reconstructionThe Particle Flow algorithm is used for the evaluation of the missing transverse energy
– It combines information from all the CMS subdetectors
– It creates a list of Particle Flow objects• Photons, electrons, muons, charged & neutral hadrons
– This list is used as input to jet algorithms (jet clustering) anti-kT
– It provides the direction of the invisible particles like neutrinos and the lightest supersymmetric particles.

• SUSY signal : γ + jets + Gravitinos (MET)
•Standard Model backgrounds:
— Dominant background without missing transverse energy (MET)
•QCD: γ + jets (fake MET because of the detector resolution)
— Sub-dominant background: processes with true missing transverse energy (MET).
•W(→eν) + jets, ttQ + jets (with fe→γ )
-SM Background simulation with MadGraph Monte Carlo samples
All simulated data (signal & SM background) are normalized to the total data integrated luminosity. They are used only for the evaluation of the method (MC Closure Test)

Experimental Data samplesExperimental Data samples The data were recorded by the CMS detector during 2011, from proton proton collisions
provided by the LHC accelerator at 7 TeV:
– They correspond to 5.1 ± 0.1 fb-1
– Good quality data were used for this analysis (CMS data quality group) Photon triggers were used with rather loose criteria
– Presence of a photon with Energy above a threshold.
• Thresholds are ajusted according to the luminosity in order to keep up
with the trigger rates.
• ET > 70 GeV and ΗΤ>300 GeV for the first runs (subsequently increased to ΗΤ>400 GeV)
• Criteria for Photon identification and isolation
The Jet Gamma BalanceThe Jet Gamma Balance (JGB) variable(JGB) variable
The JGB method’s essentials:
— Standard Model background processes mostly present a symmetric around zero JGB distribution.
Backgrounds:
γ + jets, W + jets, ttbar + jets
DY + jets , γV + jets
— Supersymmetric processes with long decay chains tend to present non symmetric JGB distributions, with long tail tail in its positive side.

— Supersymmetric processes with long decay chains tend to present non symmetric JGB distributions, with long tail in its positive side.
The SM background prediction is performed using real data (data driven), and is based on the Jet Gamma Balance variable distribution. (Jet-Gamma Balance, JGB)
– The method is inspired from an equivalent analysis in SUSY final states to Z, jets and missing transverse energy where the balance between Jets and Z is used (Jet-Z Balance, JZB)• CMS Collaboration, “Search for physics beyond the standard model in events with a Z boson, jets, and missing transverse energy in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV” (2011) arXiv:1204.3774

Standard Model backgroundStandard Model background
Background due to electron misidentification as a photon in Standard Model processes is estimatied using only data (data driven method).
— Use Zee events in which one electron has a tight selection and the second is not required to have pixel hits. We thus estimate the electron identification efficiency.

Background due to electron misidentification as a photon in Standard Model processes is estimatied using only data (data driven method).
— Comparison of data events Z→ee with the corresponding Z→eγ
— Misidentification rate is thus estimated

— The background is calculated by reweighting
Electron + Jet events by the above factor.

Twofold profit from JGB:
Event selection with JGB>0, rejects ~50% of the SM background while retains greatest part of the signal.
Estimation of the total background in the JGB >0 region, without being based in simulation.
– Backgrounds with symmetric JGB:
• JGB distribution for events with ≥1 photons and ≥3 jets
• ”folding” the region with JGB<0
– Backgrounds with asymmetric JGB distribution:
• JGB distribution for events with ≥1 electrons and ≥3 jets
• Normalized using the electron misidentification rate fe→γ~ 0.006 ± 0.003 (for pT>80GeV )
• ”folding” of the region with JGB<0 and subtraction from the region with JGB>0

Signal+Background hypothesis
Repeat the previous exercise by adding a SUSY signal (msquark:750 GeV / mgluino:700 GeV / mneutralino:225 GeV) in order to test the signal + background hypothesis and to prove the existence of the signal
The agreeement between Data and MC simulation events is good even though simulated events are not used for the background calculation. The leading photon Pt spectrum is shown for data and MC for the same integrated luminosity.

• ±2.2%– Jet Energy Scale
• ± 2%– Photon efficiency
• ± 4 %– Acceptance PDF uncertainty

ConclusionsConclusions
No SUSY signal detected in the final state γ + Jets + MET using the 2011 data at 7 TeV in CMS
The measurement is compatible with the Standard Model
We have set new more stringent limits on the parameter space
More data at 8 TeV are available and are being analyzed
The results are public and have been presented in major conferences
