Description
A search for supersymmetry (SUSY) is performed in final states
comprising one or more jets and missing transverse momentum using data
from proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The
data were recorded with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC in 2016 and
correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb-1. The
number of signal events is found to agree with the expected background
yields from standard model processes. The results are interpreted in the
context of simplified models of SUSY that assume the production of
gluino or squark pairs and their prompt decay to quarks and the lightest
neutralino. The masses of bottom, top, and mass-degenerate light-flavour
squarks are probed up to 1050, 1000, and 1325 GeV, respectively. The
gluino mass is probed up to 1900, 1650, and 1650 GeV when the gluino
decays via virtual states of the aforementioned squarks. The strongest
mass bounds on the neutralinos from gluino and squark decays are 1150
and 575 GeV, respectively. The search also provides sensitivity to
simplified models inspired by split SUSY that involve the production and
decay of long-lived gluinos. Values of the proper decay length cτ
0 from 10-3 to 105 mm are considered,
as well as a metastable gluino scenario. Gluino masses up to 1750 and
900 GeV are probed for cτ 0 = 1 mm and for the metastable
state, respectively. The sensitivity is moderately dependent on model
assumptions for cτ 0 ≳ 1 m. The search provides
coverage of the cτ 0 parameter space for models involving
long-lived gluinos that is complementary to existing techniques at the
LHC. [Figure not available: see fulltext.]
