Description

CMS results of the new physics search in same-sign dilepton events with b-tagged jets and missing transverse energy, / ET, are presented. These results cover the full 2012 dataset from the LHC at p s =8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.5 fb$^{-1}$. Isolated same-sign dilepton events are comparatively easy to detect efficiently. They are predicted to be produced in abundance in some supersymmetry models, but are rarely produced in the Standard Model (SM) processes. Hence, this channel provides a very clean, low background, search for new physics. Multiple search regions defined by the observables / ET, hadronic energy (HT), and number of b-tagged jets are considered. The yield of events in the data agrees with the SM prediction, therefore exclusion limits at 95% C.L. are presented for various simplified SUSY models.
