Search for supersymmetry in events with b-tagged jets and missing transverse momentum in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector Aaboud, M. Aguilar Saavedra, Juan Antonio Atlas Collaboration, / Hadron-Hadron scattering (experiments) A search for the supersymmetric partners of the Standard Model bottom and top quarks is presented. The search uses 36.1 fb-1 of pp collision data at √s = 13 TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Direct production of pairs of bottom and top squarks (b1 and t1) is searched for in final states with b-tagged jets and missing transverse momentum. Distinctive selections are defined with either no charged leptons (electrons or muons) in the final state, or one charged lepton. The zero-lepton selection targets models in which the b1 is the lightest squark and decays via b1 → bχ01, where χ01 is the lightest neutralino. The one-lepton final state targets models where bottom or top squarks are produced and can decay into multiple channels, b1 → bχ01 and b1 → tχ±1, or t1 → tχ01 and t1 → bχ±1, where χ±1 is the lightest chargino and the mass difference mχ±1 - mχ01 is set to 1 GeV. No excess above the expected Standard Model background is observed. Exclusion limits at 95% confidence level on the mass of third-generation squarks are derived in various supersymmetry-inspired simplified models. 2024-10-11T08:56:19Z 2024-10-11T08:56:19Z 2017-11-29 journal article The ATLAS collaboration., Aaboud, M., Aad, G. et al.
