Searching for new physics 29 May 2012Monica D'Onofrio, Non-SUSY Searches, Rencontres des Blois4 Supersymmetry Extra Dimensions Large, warped, or universal extra dimensions Might provide: Dark Matter candidate Solution to Hierarchy problem Unification of forces Searches for new heavy particles, black holes.. Strong elw. symmetry breaking Modern variants of Technicolor Might provide: Dark Matter Hierarchy problem Possibly search for composite Higgs, new heavy vector bosons (Z’, W’…), 4 th generation of quarks Introduce heavy superpartners, scalar particles, light neutral Higgs More than100 parameters even in MSSM “SUSY” “Exotics” this talk (talk by S.Somalwar) Standard Model: remarkably successful description of known phenomena, but requires new physics at the TeV scale.

Physics objects and BSM searches 29 May 2012Monica D'Onofrio, Non-SUSY Searches, Rencontres des Blois7 Starting from the physics objects above, searches for BSM physics signal have several common aspects in the overall approach: Define event selection based on above objects, sometimes aimed to enhance a targeted signal Combine Monte Carlo prediction of signal with Monte Carlo and data-driven standard model BG estimates SM sources often checked in control regions If no excess in Signal Region is observed, compute exclusion limits at 95% C.L. Jets clusters in EM/HAD calorimeters Photons EM cluster w/o matching track Electrons same with matching track Muons track in Tracker and Muon chambers Tau narrow jets with 1 or 3 tracks Missing ET (MET) unbalanced pT But also More complex objects: B-jets: jet identified as originated from B-hadron “Heavy jets” from boosted top
