Event-shape selection cuts for supersymmetry searches at the LHC with 7 TeV energy

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

We investigate the prospects of supersymmetry searches at the LHC with 7 TeV energy. A new set of selection cuts is proposed based on event shapes to control backgrounds. Our preliminary studies show that it is possible to minimize backgrounds to a significantly low level and conservative estimate suggests that the mass reach can be extended to ∼\sim 1.1 TeV for luminosity 1/fb with a reasonable signal-to-background ratio.
