Abstract (englisch):

Results are presented from a search for supersymmetric particles in scenarios with small mass splittings. The data sample corresponds to 19.7 fb−119.7 fb−1 of proton–proton collisions recorded by the CMS experiment at View the MathML sources=8 TeV. The search targets top squark (View the MathML sourcet˜) pair production in scenarios with mass differences View the MathML sourceΔm=m(t˜)−m(χ˜10) below the W-boson mass and with top-squark decays in the four-body mode (View the MathML sourcet˜→bℓνχ˜10), where the neutralino (View the MathML sourceχ˜10) is assumed to be the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP). The signature includes a high transverse momentum (pTpT) jet associated with initial-state radiation, one or two low-pTpT leptons, and significant missing transverse energy. The event yields observed in data are consistent with the expected background contributions from standard model processes. Limits are set on the cross section for top squark pair production as a function of the View the MathML sourcet˜ and LSP masses. Assuming a 100% branching fraction for the four-body decay mode, top-squark masses below 316 GeV are excluded for Δm=25 GeVΔm=25 GeV at 95% CL. ... mehr
