Description
Search for supersymmetry is a major field of exploration at the LHC.  We at CMS are looking for signal of simplified supersymmetric models in a variety of final states, which include pair-produced gluinos decaying hadronically to light jets, vector bosons and missing transverse energy (MET). As we expect the gluinos to be produced with high energies (~1 TeV), it can give rise to final-state objects with high transverse momentum, and thus with a highly boosted topology. We estimate contributions of potential backgrounds that also have similar topology, using a mass-shape fitting method in bins of MET. The MET shape in the sideband is used to validate the prediction from the fit in the signal region. In this talk, we discuss the current status and future plan for our search for the pair production of gluinos resulting in the fully hadronic final state of boosted Z boson and MET.
