GMSB and GGM Gauge-Mediated SUSY Breaking (GMSB) [ G. Giudice and R. Rattazzi, arXiv:hep-ph/9801271 ] = SUSY couples to normal matter through gauge interactions = Gravitino: LSP
General Gauge Mediation (GGM) [ P. Meade, N. Seiberg, D. Shih, arXiv:0801.3278 ] = neutralino NLSP a mixture of Bino, Wino and Higgsino = photon/Z+Gravitino or W+Gravitino final states -> one (or two) photon(s) + MET = focus on strong production: many jets

GGM Phenomenology @ the LHC
V. Sola
Neutralino NLSP mixture of Bino, Wino and Higgsino Bino-like NLSP:
Wino-like (co-)NLSP:
Bino-Higgsino-like NLSP:
R-parity is conserved -> 2 LSPs per event ★ MET is defining signature

Trigger Efficiency
V. Sola
Analysis trigger: HLT_Photon70_CaloIdXL_PFHT400Baseline triggers: HLT_Photon50_CaloIdVL (prescale = 900) HLT_Photon75_CaloIdVL (prescale = 150) HLT_PFHT350 (prescale = 1000)
Trigger is fully efficient within an uncertainty of 4%

Event Selection
V. Sola
Jets = particle flow jets, anti-kT (R=0.5), photon rejectedHT = scalar sum of pT of all jets with pT>40 GeV and |η|<3, no photon rejection
Photons ≥ 1ET > 80 GeVEiso
(∆R<0.3) < 6 GeV|η| < 1.442Jets ≥ 2pT > 30 GeV|η| < 2.6HT > 450 GeVMET > 100 GeV

QCD Background
V. Sola
Mis-measurement of MET in QCD processes-> direct di-photon, photon+jets, and multijet production with jets mimicking photons ✓ looser γ isolation requirements (γjet) orthogonal to signal selection ✓ pT spectra reweighted in low MET region (MET<100 GeV) ✓ systematic uncertainty of 10% assigned

EWK Background
V. Sola
Events with true MET and an electron misidentified as a photon-> compare Z→ee events to Z→eγ to obtain e→γ fake rate
Ratio of signal used to estimate fake rate fe→γ
pT > 80 GeV: fe→γ = 0.011 ± 0.002 (stat) ± 0.001 (syst)Inclusive electron spectrum scaled by fe→γ to obtain EWK bkg

Single Photon MET Spectrum
No excess observed over SM expectations
Six bins in MET > 100 GeV used to set limits [100, 120, 160, 200, 270, 350, ∞)

Systematic errors
= Uncertainty on trigger efficiency 4% = Theory errors: scale and PDF errors combined at each point and cross section varied by 1σ Limit calculation = CLS method with likelihood-ratio test statistics at 95% = full propagation of errors = GGM Signal Monte Carlo (grid scan) Prospino used for NLO cross section

Summary and Outlook
V. Sola
CMS analysis designed to cover a broad range of final state SUSY GMSB scenarios = Preliminary results with 4 fb-1 of 8 TeV data collected in 2012 = data-driven background estimate for QCD/EWK sources = no excesses seen over SM predictions
Exclusion limits set in bino- and wino-like neutralino NLSP = Bino like: msquark < 1.2 TeV, mgluino < 1.1 TeV excluded = Wino like: msquark < 900 GeV, mgluino < 800 GeV excluded
Results with full 2012 statistics foreseen in Moriond2013 = increased statistics = optimised analysis = b-tagging and angle variable investigation will be included
