We have performed a search for BSM physics in the Z + jets + 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 Bayesian 95\% CL upper limits
|
| 9 |
|
|
on the non SM yields in the loose (MET$>$60 GeV) and tight signal regions (MET$>$120 GeV),
|
| 10 |
|
|
of 7.9 and 3.0 events, respectively. We also quoted upper limits on the quantity
|
| 11 |
|
|
$\sigma \times BF \times A$, assuming efficiencies and uncertainties from the benchmark
|
| 12 |
|
|
SUSY processes LM4 and LM8.
