Searches for electroweak production of charginos, neutralinos, and sleptons decaying to leptons and W, Z, and Higgs bosons in pp collisions at 8 TeV

Abstract

Searches for the direct electroweak production of supersymmetric charginos, neutralinos, and sleptons in a variety of signatures with leptons and W, Z, and Higgs bosons are presented. Results are based on a sample of proton-proton collision data collected at center-of-mass energy (Formula Presented.) with the CMS detector in 2012, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.5 (Formula Presented.). The observed event rates are in agreement with expectations from the standard model. These results probe charginos and neutralinos with masses up to 720 (Formula Presented.), and sleptons up to 260 (Formula Presented.), depending on the model details.
