Description
Preparations are underway to search for possible signatures of Supersymmetry (SUSY)
in the inclusive leptons plus jets and missing transverse energy (MET) as well as
semi-inclusive topologies involving same-sign dimuon final states, using the Compact
Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, which are entering the
final phases of construction and initial phases of commissioning. This talk reports
on the expected performance of CMS, using a full simulation of the detector, and
studies its effect on the SUSY discovery reach during early running at the LHC. The
primary background sources to SUSY are expected to arise from QCD multijets, top
anti-top, and W/Z production. Strategies for reducing and calibrating this
background, both from the online CMS trigger and from offline data analysis, as well
as understanding and controlling systematic uncertainties, are presented.
