Search for supersymmetry in electroweak production with photons and large missing transverse energy in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV

Understand

Results are reported from a search for supersymmetry with gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking in electroweak production.

• Final states with photons and large missing transverse energy (MET) were examined.
• The data sample was collected in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponds to 7.4 inverse femtobarns.
• The analysis focuses on scenarios in which the lightest neutralino has bino- or wino-like components, resulting in decays to photons and gravitinos, where the gravitinos escape undetected.
