Issue Date: | 2017 | Publisher: | Springer Nature | Serial title, monograph or event: | European Physical Journal C | Volume: | 77 | Issue: | 3 | Abstract: | Two searches for new phenomena in final states containing a same-flavour opposite-sign lepton (electron or muon) pair, jets, and largemissing transversemomentum are presented. These searches make use of proton–proton collision data, collected during 2015 and 2016 at a centre-of-mass energy √ s = 13 TeV by the ATLAS detector at the large hadron collider, which correspond to an integrated luminosity of 14.7 fb−1. Both searches target the pair production of supersymmetric particles, squarks or gluinos, which decay to final states containing a same-flavour opposite-sign lepton pair via one of two mechanisms: a leptonically decaying Z boson in the final state, leading to a peak in the dilepton invariant-mass distribution around the Z boson mass; and decays of neutralinos (e.g. ˜χ 0 2 → + − ˜χ 0 1 ), yielding a kinematic endpoint in the dilepton invariant-mass spectrum. The data are found to be consistent with the Standard Model expectation. Results are interpreted in simplified models of gluino-pair (squark-pair) production, and provide sensitivity to gluinos (squarks) with masses as large as 1.70 TeV (980 GeV). | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/108179 | DOI: | 10.1140/epjc/s10052-017-4700-5 | Rights: | openAccess |
