The current searches at the LHC have set strong bounds on the masses of gluinos and the squarks of the first and second generation. At the same time, the hints of a Higgs boson at 125 GeV imply some degree of fine-tuning from radiative corrections to the lightest Higgs mass. Moreover, the rate into photons seems to be enhanced with respect to the SM, while the ZZ channel is reduced (albeit the...

We present results of searches for SUSY production at CMS in events containing hadronic jets and missing energy, with or without isolated photons or heavy flavor. Various discriminants based on the event kinematics are employed to suppress standard-model backgrounds. The results are interpreted in the context of the Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, and of a number of...

The talk summarises recent results on inclusive searches for supersymmetric squarks and gluinos in events containing jets, missing transverse momentum with or without leptons or photons. Also presented are results on searches for exotic supersymmetric signatures involving long-lived massive particles. The searches use the full data sample (5 fb-1) recorded in 2011 at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV...

The performance of muon reconstruction and identification in CMS has been studied on data collected in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV at the LHC. We present measurements of muon reconstruction and trigger efficiencies, fake rates, and momentum scale and resolution, and discuss methods developed to differentiate prompt isolated muons from non-prompt, cosmic, and beam-halo muons.

We present results of searches for SUSY production at CMS in events with lepton signatures. These include final states with single isolated leptons, Z bosons decaying to lepton pairs, non-resonant same- and opposite-sign lepton pairs, and three or more isolated leptons. The results are used to exclude previously unexplored regions of the supersymmetric parameter space assuming R-parity...

Naturalness arguments for weak-scale supersymmetry favour supersymmetric partners of the Higgs and electroweak gauge bosons and third generation quarks with masses not too far from those of their Standard Model counterparts. Gauginos and scalar top or bottom quarks with masses less than a few hundred GeV can give rise to direct pair production rates at the LHC that can be observed in the data...
