Description
The 2015 has been a milestone year for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, delivering the first ever collisions at an unprecedented centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. This marks the start of Run II at the LHC as well as a dramatic increase in discovery potential for many scenarios beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. Both the CMS and ATLAS experiments have a very broad program to search for new particles. In this talk, I will discuss the searches for supersymmetric particles using jets and missing transverse momentum in various flavors using 2.3/fb of data collected by the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment. I will also try to give an overview of SUSY search program at the CMS.  While there has not been observed any significant excess over the SM expectations in this data, the “null” results are used to exclude various possibilities of pair production of strongly produced SUSY particles.
