We have performed a search for BSM physics in the Z plus jets plus MET final state.
|
| 5 |
Backgrounds from SM \Z production were estimated using the data-driven
|
| 6 |
MET templates method, and backgrounds from $t\bar{t}$ were estimated using
|
| 7 |
the data-driven opposite-flavor subtraction technique. We found no evidence
|
| 8 |
for anomalous yield beyond SM expectations and placed \statistics\ 95\% CL upper limits
|
| 9 |
on the non SM yields in the loose (MET$>$\signalmetl~GeV) and tight signal regions (MET$>$\signalmett~GeV)
|
| 10 |
of \ulloose~and \ultight~events, respectively.

%assuming efficiencies and uncertainties from the

| 16 |
benchmark SUSY processes LM4 and LM8
|
| 17 |
including estimated signal efficiencies and systematics,

and conclude that LM4 is not compatible with the data and therefore ruled out.
