Description
Searches for new physics by the CMS collaboration are interpreted in the
framework of the phenomenological minimal supersymmetric standard model
(pMSSM). The data samples used in this study were collected at
√{s}=7 and 8 TeV and have integrated luminosities of 5.0
fb-1 and 19.5 fb-1, respectively. A global
Bayesian analysis is performed, incorporating results from a broad range
of CMS supersymmetry searches, as well as constraints from other
experiments. Because the pMSSM incorporates several well-motivated
assumptions that reduce the 120 parameters of the MSSM to just 19
parameters defined at the electroweak scale, it is possible to assess
the results of the study in a relatively straightforward way.
Approximately half of the model points in a potentially accessible
subspace of the pMSSM are excluded, including all pMSSM model points
with a gluino mass below 500 GeV, as well as models with a squark mass
less than 300 GeV. Models with chargino and neutralino masses below 200
GeV are disfavored, but no mass range of model points can be ruled out
based on the analyses considered. The nonexcluded regions in the pMSSM
parameter space are characterized in terms of physical processes and key
observables, and implications for future searches are discussed. [Figure
