Search for supersymmetry with a photon, a lepton, and missing transverse momentum in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV

Understand

A search for supersymmetry involving events with at least one photon, one electron or muon, and large missing transverse momentum has been performed by the CMS experiment.

• The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 inverse femtobarns of pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV, produced at the CERN LHC.
• No excess of events is observed beyond expectations from standard model processes.
• The result of the search is interpreted in the context of a general model of gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking, where the charged and neutral winos are the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particles.
