Same-sign isolated lepton-pairs are very rare in the Standard Model (SM) but
|
| 6 |
appear very naturally in many new physics scenarios.
|
| 7 |
In this paper we describe searches for new physics
|
| 8 |
with same sign isolated dileptons ($ee$, $e\mu$, $\mu\mu$,
|
| 9 |
$e\tau$, $\mu\tau$, and $\tau\tau$), missing transverse
|
| 10 |
energy (\met) and jets. The results are based on
|
| 11 |
a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity
|
| 12 |
of 35 pb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions
|
| 13 |
collected by the CMS\cite{ref:CMS} experiment in 2010 at the Large
|
| 14 |
Hadron Collider (LHC) at a center of mass of 7 TeV.
|

This paper is organized as follows. The CMS detector is briefly
|
| 17 |
described
|
| 18 |
in Section~\ref{sec:detector}. The reconstruction of leptons,
|
| 19 |
\met, and jets at CMS is summarized in Section~\ref{sec:objects}.
|
| 20 |
We then describe three complementary searches
|
| 21 |
in order to widely cover the parameter space of new physics.
|
| 22 |
The first (Section~\ref{sec:leptrg})
|
| 23 |
is a generic search based on high $P_T$ lepton triggers and
|
| 24 |
explores the high \met and the high $H_T$ regions separately,
|
| 25 |
where $H_{T}$ is a measure of the hadronic activity and is defined
|
| 26 |
here as the scalar sum of all selected jet $P_T$.
|
| 27 |
The second explores a higher $H_T$ kinematic region at lower lepton
|
| 28 |
$P_T$, and thus relies on hadronic triggers (Section~\ref{sec:Florida}).
|
| 29 |
The first two searches concentrate on the $ee$, $e\mu$, and $\mu\mu$ final states.
|
| 30 |
The third search described in Section~\ref{sec:tau} includes final states
|
| 31 |
with hadronic tau decays.
