Study of Strange B Mesons Decaying to mu mu in CMS
The rare leptonic decay has a highly suppressed rate in the Standard Model (SM) and is therefore a potentially sensitive probe of physics beyond the SM. In the minimal ...

Data-Driven Determination of Background to Supersymmetry Searches in ATLAS
The Standard Model process of ttbar production is one of the most important backgrounds to searches for Supersymmetry (SUSY) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. We describe a new method to est...

Discovery potential and measurement of a dilepton mass edge in SUSY events at sqrt s = 10 TeV
Within the minimal supergravity model (mSUGRA), the observability of the decay of the next-to-lightest neutralino into leptons has been studied using the full simulation of the CMS detector. The final...

Search strategy for exclusive multi-jet events from supersymmetry at CMS
A search strategy for a missing energy signature, predicted by supersymmetry with R-parity conservation, is presented using event topologies with exactly (n = 2 \dots 6) hadronic jets. The searc...

Searching for Stopped Gluinos during Beam-off Periods at CMS
In this note we describe plans for a search for long-lived particles which have become stopped by the CMS detector. We will look for the subsequent decay of these particles during time intervals where...

Understanding Missing Transverse Energy in Di-Photon Events For SUSY Searches
This note describes a method for determining SM backgrounds to the final state with two photons and large missing transverse energy (\MET). The study is targeted towards an early search for new phys...

Search for Higgs bosons predicted in two-Higgs-doublet models via decays to tau lepton pairs in 1.96-TeV p anti-p collisions
We present the results of a search for Higgs bosons predicted in two-Higgs-doublet models, in the case where the Higgs bosons decay to tau lepton pairs, using 1.8 inverse fb of integrated luminosity o...

Search for charged Higgs bosons in decays of top quarks
We present a search for charged Higgs bosons in decays of top quarks, in the mass range 80 < m_{H^{\pm} < 155 GeV, assuming the subsequent decay (and its charge conjuga...

Performance of the ATLAS b-tagging Algorithms
The ability to identify jets stemming from the fragmentation and hadronization of b quarks is important for the high-pT physics program of ATLAS: top physics, Higgs boson searches and studies, new phe...

Discovery potential of
This note describes a study of the discovery potential for the supersymmetric Higgs bosons h/H/A in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 14 TeV in final states with tau lepton pairs ...
