Search for supersymmetry in p-p collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $13 TeV using the $\varpropto_{T}$ variable with the CMS detector

The thesis describes a search for new physics in form of supersymmetry in hadronic final states and missing transverse energy ($\varpropto_{T}$) using a data set of 35.9 fb−1 collected during the 2016 proton-proton runs by the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The search uses robust kinematic variables to suppress backgrounds while maintaining good acceptance to a broad range of signal models and employs data-driven techniques to accurately determine backgrounds and systematic uncertainties. No evidence for Beyond Standard Model (BSM) physics is observed and simplified models are used to interpret the results. For gluino mediated models, the gluino mass up to 1850 GeV and the lightest symmetric particle (LSP) up to 1100 GeV are excluded. For light squark mediated models, the light squark mass up to 1350 GeV (700 GeV) and the LSP up to 650 GeV (400 GeV), assuming no degeneracy in the light squark masses (a degeneracy in light squark masses). For sbottom mediated models, the sbottom mass is excluded to 1075 GeV and the LSP mass up to 550 GeV. For stop mediated models, the stop mass is excluded up to 1075 GeV with the LSP mass up to 400 GeV.
