The Standard Model, an incomplete success
Parameters unexplained: masses, mixings, couplings.
Unification would be nice, and corrections from the extra “SUSY” particles seem to provide it.

Supersymmetry, an experimentalists dream
Many parameters to measure. Doubled mass spectrum, more mixings.
New puzzles to solve. Whence the masses and mixings?
Why is the symmetry broken?

Supersymmetry’s variety of signatures makes it
a target representative of many new models.

The cross section for weak production is small.
But squarks & gluinos would be strongly produced…

In pairs if RP conserving.
24
How to search for SUSY?
Cross-section is calculable given masses.
Example: 400 GeV squark and gluino
gives ≈40 pb at 7 TeV.
≈ 1/4 of top quark cross-section.
Could produce thousands this year.

How to predict the Njet and MET tails?
Would like a quick, data-driven method to predict MET in Z+jet events.
In this case it is fake MET,
from mis-measurement.
38
Missing ET in Z+jets
The Z is well measured. The MET comes from the detector’s response to the jet system.
39
Missing ET in Z+jets
For each Z+jet event, find an event w/ a comparable jet system and use its MET as a prediction.
Huge QCD x-section makes such events SUSY free.
40
Missing ET in Z+jets
For each Z+jet event, use a MET template measured from events with a comparable jet system in O(1) pb-1.
Templates measured in bins of NJ and JT = j ET.

Various detectoreffects could addMET tails.
Check robustnesswith MC tests,applied equally toall samples.

Missing ET in Z/+jets, robustness tests
• R=0.8 hole at (h,f)=(0,0)• Double gaussian smearing• Randomly add 50-100 GeV “noise jets”• Vary nJ slope by ±50%.• Jet energy scale sensitivity.

Now working to validate this with low ET +jets from early data.
54
Missing ET in W()+jetsW
Can we predict W+jets, and ttW+jets?
55
Missing ET in W()+jets
Templates can predict the fake MET in W+jet events, but we also need to predict the real MET, i.e., the pT.
Can we predict W+jets, and ttW+jets?
56
Missing ET in W(+jets
Templates can predict the fake MET in W+jet events, but we also need to predict the real MET, i.e., the pT.
But, the pT spectrum is ≈ same as the pT spectrum,
if we ignore V-A or randomize W polarization.
Can we predict W+jets, and ttW+jets?
57
Missing ET in +jets
Pretend we could detect and apply templates.
Mismatch due to b-jet dominance.
But, neutrino pT dominates MET.
58
Missing ET in +jets
Combining template prediction with pT spectrum
gives a prediction for the full MET distribution.
59
Missing ET in +jets
The same approach predicts W shape,
if polarization is not extreme.

Comparison with signal
Benchmark points (LM4 and LM1) stand out with 200/pb at 14 TeV.LM4=(m0=210,m1/2=285); LM1=(60,250). tan()=10.
61
But we don’t have 14 TeV.

But we don’t have 14 TeV. So it will be a bit harder.
When will we discover SUSY with 7 TeV?

When?
Systematic uncertainty assumed to be 50% overall.Separate tight selections for 100 pb-1 and 1 fb-1.
Expected limits in multijets + MET search
65
When?Similar limits from same-sign dilepton search
66
When?So far, we only have a few inverse nanobarns. But, that is a few hundred million events…
67
Detector performance encouraging with first data.
68
Tracking calibrated with Ks, , ,J/, D resonances.
69
When?Expect 100 pb-1 by end of this year and 1 fb-1 by end of next year. Tuning up…

Summary
Potential for quick sensitivity to Supersymmetry
If we can obtain robust, data-driven background predictions
QCD based templating gives an in situ prediction of MET distribution.
Charged lepton pT predicts neutrino pT.
