Search for supersymmetry with a compressed mass spectrum in the vector boson fusion topology with 1-lepton and 0-lepton final states in proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV
A search for supersymmetric particles produced in the vector boson fusion topology in proton-proton collisions is presented. The search targets final states with one or zero leptons, large missing transverse momentum, and two jets with a large separation in rapidity. The data sample corresponds t...

| Summary: | A search for supersymmetric particles produced in the vector boson fusion
topology in proton-proton collisions is presented. The search targets final states with one
or zero leptons, large missing transverse momentum, and two jets with a large separation in
rapidity. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1
of protonproton collisions at √
s = 13 TeV collected in 2016 with the CMS detector at the LHC.
The observed dijet invariant mass and lepton-neutrino transverse mass spectra are found
to be consistent with the standard model predictions. Upper limits are set on the cross
sections for chargino ( ˜χ
±
1
) and neutralino ( ˜χ
0
2
) production with two associated jets. For
a compressed mass spectrum scenario in which the ˜χ
±
1 and ˜χ
0
2 decays proceed via a light
slepton and the mass difference between the lightest neutralino ˜χ
0
1 and the mass-degenerate
particles ˜χ
±
1 and ˜χ
0
2
is 1 (30) GeV, the most stringent lower limit to date of 112 (215) GeV
is set on the mass of these latter two particles. |
