Abstract:

A search for supersymmetry is carried out in proton-proton collisions with a center of mass energy of 13 TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 15.2/fb collected with the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC. Events are selected by requiring one Higgs boson candidate decaying into two photons in association with at least one jet. Events are categorized according to the properties of the Higgs boson candidate(s) and the razor variables M_R and R^2 are used to improve discrimination between SUSY signals and the standard model backgrounds. The search is carried out by fitting the diphoton invariant mass distribution in each search region. The result of the search is interpreted in the context of a simplified model of bottom squark production and upper limits on the corresponding production cross section are derived.
