Same-sign isolated lepton-pairs are very rare in the Standard Model (SM) but
|

claudioc |

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.
