Photon(s) + MET: MotivationATLAS searches defined by signature, motivated by one or more BSM physics scenario.
Photon(s) + MET Motivations:
• Gauge-Mediated SUSY Breaking (GMSB) New “hidden” gauge/messenger sector protects flavor symmetry Photons from gaugino gravitino decay
• Universal Extra Dimensions (UED) Weak gravity excused by leaking into extra dimensions Gravity-mediated KK photon decay KK + G(KK)

5 fb-1 Diphoton+MET Strategy• Tighter photon selection suppresses backgrounds
• Three analysis regions targeting
A: High-mass (strong) production, heavy 01
B: High-mass production, light 01
C: Low-mass (electroweak) production

Shih, Ruderman

• MET > 150 GeV
• 2 ET > 50 jets, one b-tagged
• min > 0.4
• MT(,MET) > 100 GeV
• Lepton veto

• Start with l = to avoid jet (QCD) backgrounds
• Backgrounds (order of size): W, tt(+), W+jets, Z + (,jets)

SCIPP playing leading role in multi-signature arena
Attentive analysis yields very aggressive limits
2011 (5 fb-1)Two papers published, one in CWR, two more in analysis stage
2012 (20 fb-1 @ 8 TeV)• Expect 10-15% improvement from each of 8 TeV, statistics 25% increase in reach, similar to other running periods!• More development (Electroweak grid for diphoton+MET…)
Beyond14 TeV will open up a whole new window…

The “minimal” SPS8 model is ad hoc, selected somewhat arbitrarily as a concrete model for which different facilities could be compared
In particular, no reason why EW and colored partner scales need be coupled
Generalize model so that one strong partner, one EW partner are light, all other partner masses are high (~1.5 TeV)
Free parameters are gluino, Bino-like 10 masses:
General Gauge Mediation (GGM)

Two major sources:

MET from EW Sources (Ws, ttbar)• e control sample from data, MC• Scale to contribution with e fake rate from Z ee studies

Nothing there with 36 pb-1, so we set limits…
