Description

Events with isolated photons in the final state can be used in multiple ways to search for supersymmetry. Depending on the composition of the lightest neutralino state, decays to a photon and the gravitino can be a dominant signature for models with gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking. Photons are also a tool for the identification of Higgs bosons in the decay chains of supersymmetric particles. Results are reported based on proton-proton collisions recorded at sqrt(s) = 13 TeV with the CMS experiment.
