Description
This series of three lectures focus on the concepts and elements associated with a SUSY search, how they are integrated into a result and eventually a discovery or a limit. It includes a review of the relevant detector properties and reconstruction techniques to identify the physics objects present in the SUSY final states. The origin of the main backgrounds is explained, followed by a description of many of the data driven methods used to estimate them. An overview of the CMS results at the seminar level includes a detailed description of the sensitive variables utilized in the searches.
About the scientists
Daniel Elvira is a scientist at Fermilab and a member of the D0, Geant4 (detector simulation), and CMS Collaborations. In CMS, he led the simulation effort through the development and validation stage. Later, he served as co-convener of the jet and missing transverse energy physics object group. During the 2010-2011 period, he co-led the CMS Hadronic SUSY group, coordinating the searches that yielded the most stringent limits on SUSY particle production using the 2010-2011 data samples
