Motivation• Strong production (squarks,
gluinos) dominates SUSY cross-section unless large mass hierarchy (1)
• LSP/DM production generates MET even without leptons (2)
• SM real MET signature usually accompanied by leptons (except Znn) (3)
• Implies require jets (1), MET (2) and veto leptonic events (3)
• Remaining: QCD fake/real MET events, fake-jets/missed leptons, and Znn.

Dan Tovey November 7, 2011
Strategy• Search for production of strongly interacting sparticles
(squarks/gluinos) decaying to jets and invisible LSPs• Analysis of 1.04 fb-1 of data from early 2011 presented at EPS• Similar strategy to that used with 2010 data (presented at
Moriond 2011)• Select events with jets + MET and no identified leptons• Main backgrounds:
– QCD jets (fake MET and HF decays), – Top pairs (semi/fully-leptonic) with lepton missed or faking jet (τ) – W(lν)+jets with lepton missed or faking jet (τ) – Z(νν)+jets (irreducible)
• Lepton veto (pT>20 GeV) supresses top and W+jets backgrounds

Signal Regions• Signal Region selections designed for sensitivity to specific topologies
/ classes of models• Large njet focuses on gluino-dominated / high m0 (CMSSM/MSUGRA)
models• Low njet sensitive to squark-dominated / low m0 models• 4-jet Meff>500 GeV SR targets low mass-splitting models

Dan Tovey November 7, 2011
Signal Regions• MET and leading jet pT cuts protect against trigger turn-on• ‘Effective mass’ scalar sum of jet pT and MET
– Number of jets used differs between SRs• Δϕ(j,MET) cuts (leading 3 jets) reject QCD jet background where MET
produced in association with a single jet• MET/Meff cuts select topology where jets point away from MET

Background Estimation• SM backgrounds estimated using background-enriched data
control regions (CR), with MC (ALPGEN or MC@NLO) or data-driven ‘transfer factors’ (TF) used to translate to signal regions (SR)
• Correlations between CR’s from cross-contamination of backgrounds taken into account with CR-SR TFs.
• Backgrounds in SR obtained from coherent likelihood fit to CR observations, taking into account correlated (e.g. JES) and uncorrelated (e.g. MC stats) TF uncertainties
• Many correlated uncertainties largely cancel through use of CR/SR TF ratio (e.g. JES, PDF etc.)

Dan Tovey November 7, 2011
CR1a: Z+Jets Background• Estimated with two
independent CRs• CR1a selects γ+jets
events and adds γ pT to MET to simulate Z(υυ) + jets events
• TF obtained from first principles using corrections for photon acceptance, efficiency etc.

Dan Tovey November 7, 2011
CR1b: Z+Jets Background• CR1b selects Z(ee/μμ)+jets
events and adds leptons to MET to model Z(υυ)+jets
• SR MET/Meff, Δϕ(j,MET) cuts and Meff cuts relaxed to increase acceptance (except for 4-jet Meff>500 GeV SR)
• TF calculated using ALPGEN with theoretical and experimental systematics estimates
• Z(ll)+jets SR background also taken into account in TF
• Both CR1a and CR1b constraints used in likelihood function

Dan Tovey November 7, 2011
CR2: QCD Jet Background• Require Δϕ(j,MET)<0.2 to
create QCD jet dominated region
• TFs obtained by smearing pT of jets in low MET ‘seed’ events using jet response function
• Jet response function baseline obtained from MC jet truth/reco comparison
• Gaussian part modified to match data jet pT asymmetry distribution in dijet events
• Tail modified to match MET distribution in data 3-jet ‘Mercedes’ events

CR3: W+Jets Background• 1-lepton + MET sample
selected with 30 GeV < MT(l,υ) < 80 GeV requirement
• b-jet veto applied to separate from top control regions
• Lepton treated as jet (i.e. not added to MET): models approximately hadronic tau faking jet
• TFs calculated using ALPGEN with theoretical and systematic uncertainties estimates
