Description

A search for Strongly and Electroweakly produced SUSY in final states containing opposite sign dileptons, jets and large missing transverse momentum, using 35.9 fb-1 of proton-proton data collected with the CMS detector in 2016.
The analysis uses the invariant mass of the lepton pair, searching for a kinematic edge or a resonant-like excess compatible with the Z boson mass. The search for a kinematic edge targets strong production while the resonance search targets both strongly and electroweakly produced new physics. The observations in all signal regions are consistent with the expectations from the standard model, and the results are interpreted in the context of simplified models of supersymmetry.
