Search for direct top squark pair production in final states with two leptons in √ s = 13 TeV pp collisions with the ATLAS detector
European Physical Journal C Springer 77 (2017) 898
Abstract:
The results of a search for direct pair production of top squarks in events with two opposite-charge leptons (electrons or muons) are reported, using 36.1 fb^-1 of integrated luminosity from proton–proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. To cover a range of mass differences between the top squark t˜ and lighter supersymmetric particles, four possible decay modes of the top squark are targeted with dedicated selections: the decay t˜ → b χ˜±1 into a b-quark and the lightest chargino with χ˜±1 → Wχ˜01, the decay t˜ → t χ˜01 into an on-shell top quark and the lightest neutralino, the three-body decay t˜ → bW χ˜01 and the four-body decay t˜ → b`𝓁vχ˜01 . No significant excess of events is observed above the Standard Model background for any selection, and limits on top squarks are set as a function of the t˜ and χ˜01 masses. The results exclude at 95% confidence level χ˜01 masses up to about 720 GeV, extending the exclusion region of supersymmetric parameter space covered by previous searches.Search for electroweak production of supersymmetric states in scenarios with compressed mass spectra at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV with the ATLAS detector
