Search for new physics using single-lepton events with high multiplicities of jets and b jets in proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV
Abstract
This paper presents a search for beyond the standard model physics using single-lepton events with a high multiplicity of jets, including those identified as bottom quark jets, without a requirement on missing transverse momentum. The analysis is based on proton-proton collision data collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb−1. This search is sensitive to R-parity violating supersymmetry models, where supersymmetric particles can decay into standard-model particles through interactions that violate baryon number conservation. In particular, the signal model considered is gluino pair production, where each gluino decays into top, bottom, and strange quarks. The sum of large-radius jet masses is used to distinguish the signal from background, as it effectively captures the features of high jet multiplicity and high interaction energy. No significant excess of data over the background predictions is observed. Gluinos in this model have been excluded for masses below 1890 GeV at 95% confidence level.

The analysis is based on proton-proton collision data collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb^−1. This search is sensitive to R-parity violating supersymmetry models, where supersymmetric particles can decay into standard-model particles through interactions that violate baryon number conservation.
