1. INTRODUCTION
The most powerful particle accelerator Large Hadron
Collider (LHC) allows scientists to reproduce the con-
ditions after the Big Bang through their recreating
by colliding proton beams. The essential parts of the
LHC project are four huge detectors (ATLAS, CMS,
ALICE, LHCb) and the Worldwide LHC Comput-
ing Grid (WLCG). Researchers expect not only to
confirm known experiments and theories but also to
discover new particles and to test the theories for un-
derstanding the origin of the Universe.
ATLAS and CMS are two general-purpose detec-
tors at the LHC for investigation a wide range of
physics in high-energy collisions including the search
for the properties of the discovered Higgs boson, su-
persymmetric paricles and the evidence for dark mat-
ter in the Universe.
Through many experiments, the Standard Model
has become established as a well-tested physics the-
ory. The theory incorporates only three out of the
four fundamental forces, omitting gravity. Last but
not least is a particle called the Higgs boson, an essen-
tial component of the Standard Model discovered in
2012. Even though the Standard Model is the best
description of the subatomic world, it does not ex-
plain the complete picture. There are also important
issues that it does not answer, such as the nature of
the dark matter, or the matter/antimatter problem,
the three generations of quarks and leptons with such
a different mass scale, etc. So, the Standard Model is
perhaps only a part of a bigger picture that includes
new physics. New information from experiments at
the LHC will possibly help us to find more of these
missing pieces. Currently there are experimental data
that may turn out to be a signal of new physics be-
yond Standard Model:
• LHCb has now analysed the ratio of the number
of decays containing muons, to those containing elec-
trons from proton-proton collisions on the LHC and
found that B mesons decay to muons about 25% less
than they decay to electrons [1];
• the Higgs boson production in association with a
top-quark pair represents the excess, which is equiv-
alent to a 2-standard-deviation above the SM [2].
Basing on all of the above, it is clear that currently
a priority activity for the largest collaborations at
CERN is a search for new hypothetical particles and
possible effects indicating deviations from the Stan-
dard Model.
The aim of our experimental work is the search
for effects of new physics within the supersymmetry
theory (SUSY), which is one of the best studied the-
ories beyond the SM. Such a symmetry predicts the
existence of supersymmetric particles, abbreviated
as sparticles, such as sleptons, squarks, neutralinos,
gluinos and charginos . Due to the supersymmetry
breaking, the sparticles are much heavier than their
ordinary counterparts [3].
The Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model
(MSSM) is one of the best candidates for physics be-
yond the Standard Model . It is characterized by five
free parameters of mSUGRA model [4]: m0 – the uni-

versal mass of the scalars (sleptons, squarks, Higgs
bosons) at the Grand Unification scale, m1/2 – the
universal mass of the gauginos and higgsinos at the
Grand Unification scale, A0 – the universal trilinear
coupling, tanβ – the ratio of the vacuum expectation
values of the two Higgs doublets, sign(µ) – the sign
of the higgsino mass parameter. The paper presents
the results of searching for SUSY signal, described by
such model with certain values of parameters.
First searches for the production of SUSY par-
ticles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) corre-
sponded to a total integrated luminosity of 35 pb−1
with jets and significant missing transverse energy
[5, 6, 7] in final states. More recent publications [8]
are based on a 20.3 fb−1 dataset of
√
s = 8 TeV
proton-proton collisions in final states with jets and
missing transverse momentum.
SUSY particles, the squarks q̃ and gluinos g̃ are
expected to be produced via the strong interaction
at the TeV energy scale. Their decays via cas-
cades ending with the lightest supersymmetric par-
ticle (LSP) produce experimental signatures leading
to final states containing multi-jets, charged leptons
and large missing transverse momentum (undetected
neutralino and possibly leptons).
Taking into account the large number of possi-
ble final states after the decay of a SUSY particle,
we have tried to summarize their contributions with
an appropriate choice of kinematical constraints for
registration of possible signal. The article does not
suggest an original approach in such studies and
does not propose a new method of data analysis. It
is not contradict earlier researches (see above) and,
actually, presents the tests of our algorithms. These
algorithms can be used for processing and analysis of
future CMS data.
2. DATA AND EVENT SELECTION
SUSY particles, the squarks (q̃) and gluinos (g̃) are
mainly produced, with large probability, via direct
production of g̃g̃, q̃g̃ or q̃q̃ pairs. Squarks typically
generate at least one jet in their decays, while gluinos
typically generate at least two jets. Processes with
q̃q̃, q̃g̃ and g̃g̃ in intermediate states therefore lead to
events containing at least two, three or four jets, re-
spectively. Using a data obtained in pp collisions at√
s = 7 TeV, we perform the search for massive SUSY
particles that decay to the muons, jets and neutrali-
nos. Two of many possible processes of superparticle
decays are presented in Fig.1.
We used the data sample collected during 2011 by
the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) - a multipurpose
detector described in detail in [9].
Searches in final states with many jets, leptons,
and large missing transverse energy in final states
are sensitive to a wide range of new models, includ-
ing SUSY. Such searches were performed in [10].

collisions: a) decay of gluinos; b) decay of squarks
We begin the search for the superparticle sig-
natures with four hard jets, two high-energetic
isolated muons and large Emiss
T . The analysis
uses a muon sample of CMS experimental data
/DoubleMu/Run2011∗PromptReco∗/AOD contain-
ing in each event at least two muons with transverse
momentum pµT above 200 MeV in the pseudorapidity
range |ηµ| < 2.7. The pseudorapidity η is defined as
η = − ln[tan(θ/2)], where θ is the polar angle with
respect to the beam axis.
Using the methods of the PAT (Physical Analysis
Toolkit) package [11], implemented in the CMS soft-
ware package (CMSSW) [12], and WLCG infrastruc-
ture [13], we got a sample of preselected events. This
sample meets the criteria of high-level muon trigger
HLT Mu13 Mu8 (at least two muons with pµT > 13
and pµT > 8 GeV) and corresponds to integrated lumi-
nosity Lint = 4.36 fb−1. It was recorded on the disk
storage of KIPT CMS Tier-2 Center (T2 UA KIPT )
and used for the final analysis. Events are required
to have at least two opposite sign isolated ”signal”
muons with pµT above 10 GeV, |ηµ| < 2.4, and the
leading muon must have pµT > 20 GeV; at least four
hadron ”signal” jets with a transverse momentum
pjetT > 30 GeV, |ηjet| < 2.5; missing transverse mo-
mentum Emiss
T must exeed 100 GeV and must sat-
isfy restriction Emiss
T /Meff > 0.2, where the effective
mass Meff is the scalar sum of pjetT of four leading jets
and Emiss
T is absolute value of the vector sum of the
transverse momentums of the all reconstructed phys-
ical objects. The last criterion allows us to suppress
the background caused by incorrectly reconstructed
hadronic jets more efficiently.
Two event distributions will be analyzed using the
main observables Emiss
T and inclusive effective mass
Minc
eff . Quantity Minc
eff is defined in terms of the scalar
sum of pjetT of all ”signal” jets, the pµT of all ”signal”

These selection criteria choose two high-energetic
muons, four hard jets and two LSPs mainly in pro-
cesses pp → q̃q̃ + X → qq + ZZ + χ̃0

pp → q̃q̃∗ + X → q

is squark, q̃∗ - antisquark, q - antiquark. The main
criterion for manifestation of SUSY particles is a cer-
tain excess of events in the distribution of Minc
eff or
Emiss
T compared to the Standard Model predictions.
The excess, if it exists, must occur at sufficiently large
values Minc
eff and Emiss
T and is directly connected with
the large masses of the superpartners. The signal es-
timation is based on Monte Carlo samples generated
by PYTHIA6 [14] and reconstructed with taking into
account the CMS detector response. The SUSY sig-
nal in the mSUGRA/MSSM model is defined for m0
= 500 GeV, m1/2 = 300 GeV, A0 = - 300 GeV, tan
β = 10, sign(µ)> 0.
Contamination of the signal region due to back-
ground from the following Standard Model processes
is estimated:
• Di-boson (WW, WZ, ZZ boson pairs) + jets pro-
duction events generated using the MADGRAPH
generator [15];
• tt + jets and tW + jets production estimated using
the MADGRAPH and POWHEG [16] correspond-
ingly;
• Z+jets production generated using the MAD-
GRAPH generator.
POWHEG background simulation results include the
real and virtual next-to-leading-order (NLO) correc-
tions. The MADGRAPH gives an opportunity to
consider in tree approximation the processes leading
to 5 jets. All Monte-Carlo results for the distribution
of events presented in the paper are rescaled taking
into account the static factor
K = σtot
theor/σ
tot
gen
(σtot
gen - cross section calculated by the events gener-
ator and σtot
theor - cross section including higher-order
corrections to leading process), and an integrated
luminosity of 4.36 fb−1.
3. RESULTS
Application of the above criteria for the selection of
events leads to poor statistics for the signal (∼ 3
events over the entire range of Minc
eff or Emiss
T ).
Therefore, a natural step is to loosen the kine-
matic constraints on the selection of SUSY events.
We add a signature containing the final states with
one muon, which corresponds, for example, to pro-
cess pp → q̃q̃ + X → q
′
q
′
+ WW + χ̃0
1χ̃
0
1 + X and
further reduce the threshold for pT of leading muon.
As a result, we have the following set of constraints:
at least one isolated signal muon
pµT > 10 GeV, |ηµ| < 2.4;
at least four hadron ”signal” jets
pjetT > 30 GeV, |ηjet| < 2.5;
Emiss
T > 100 GeV;
Emiss
T /Meff > 0.2.

Experimental data are qualitatively in agreement
with the Standard Model expectations. Quantitative
contributions of separate sources of the background
for various ranges in Emiss
T and Minc
eff are presented
in Table 1. Contribution of the expected signal as
well as the yield of real data is shown too. All quan-
tities presented in this table are obtained with taking
into account only statistical errors. Then, for trig-
ger HLT Mu13 Mu8 that is used here, it can be
assumed that the contribution of background W +
jets will be very small.

Using the Bayesian method [17] the upper limits
on signal strength R (the ratio the number of ob-
served signal events to the number of expected sig-
nal events) has been calculated with the confidence
level CL=95%. Quantities presented in Table 2 indi-
cate the absence with CL=95% of any effects of new
physics described by the selected model (except for
case where R< 2.47 ± 0.04). The signal significance
is defined from simulated data as S/
√
B, where S is
the number of signal events and B is the number
of background events. Along with taking into ac-
count the statistical errors, for calculating the upper
limits we used the systematical errors as well. The
maximum systematical errors are considered for sig-
nal and background separately (30% - signal, 60% -
background). They are taken from studies of article
[18].

Note that we are not bound in our consideration
to any particular SUSY process. We are interested
in the total contribution of the group of processes,
selected by the relevant criteria. Therefore, it makes
sense to calculate CL for a group of processes, which,
in addition to those already discussed, will include
also formation of three hard jets and χ̃0
2 → Zχ̃0
1. The
cuts in this case are as follows:
10
at least two isolated opposite-sign ”signal” muons
pµT > 10 GeV, |ηµ| < 2.4
including one leading muon with pµT > 20 GeV;
at least two hadron ”signal” jets
pjetT > 30 GeV, |ηjet| < 2.5;
Emiss
T > 100 GeV;
Emiss
T /M
′
eff > 0.2.
(2)
HereM
′
eff is the scalar sum of pjetT of two leading jets.
The result of their application is shown in Fig.3.
Quantitative contributions of separate sources of
the background for various ranges in Emiss
T and Minc
eff
are presented in Table 3. Contribution of the ex-
pected signal as well as yield of real data is shown
too. All quantities presented in this table are ob-
tained with taking into account only statistical er-
rors.

Despite the increase in the number of analyzed
SUSY-processes, the increase in the signal did not
occur. Furthermore, the signal became smaller com-
pared to selection criteria 1. The main reasons for
this are, firstly, the smaller number of signal events
with two ”good” (satisfying the CMS identification
criteria) muons, and secondly, small relative proba-
bility of weak boson decay to leptons. At the same
time, criteria (2) suppress the background to about
the same degree of criteria (1) do. The restriction on
the existence of the SUSY signals turn out to be less
stringent (see Table 4).

4. CONCLUSIONS
We performed a search for superparticles in events
with either one or two muons, two or more jets, and
large missing transverse energy using 4.36 fb−1 of
√
s
= 7 TeV CMS data. The event distributions over
Minc
eff and Emiss
T are presented for two sets of se-
lection criteria. For different ranges in Emiss
T and
Minc
eff we defined the upper limits on observed signal
strength R with confidence level CL=95%. In case
of the selection criteria (1), the estimations with the
statistical and the maximum systematic error (up to
30% for signal and 60% for background) give the up-
per limit values 0.88 and 0.91 for Emiss
T >200 GeV
and Minc
eff >600 GeV, respectively. This confirms
with the confidence level 95% the conclusion about
the absence of SUSY signal for Emiss
T >200 GeV and
Minc
eff >600 GeV. No excess of events over the ex-
pected SM background was observed in experimental
CMS data. The proposed method allows us to search
for superparticles within different theoretical models,
as well as at higher LHC energies.
