Any such weakly interacting particles that are massive and stable can contribute to the dark matter content of the universe. The strongly interacting parents would be produced in the proton-proton interactions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and such events would be characterized by significant missing transverse momentum EmissT from the unobserved weakly interacting daughters, and jets from emissions of quarks and/or gluons. In the context of R-parity conserving [1–5] supersymmetry [5–10], the strongly inter- acting parent particles are the squarks q˜ and gluinos g˜, they are produced in pairs, and the lightest supersymmetric particles can provide the stable dark matter candidates [11, 12]. Jets are produced from a variety of sources: from quark emission in supersymmetric cas- cade decays, production of heavy Standard Model particles (W , Z or t) which then decay hadronically, or from QCD radiation. Examples of particular phenomenological interest – 1 – include models where squarks are significantly heavier than gluinos. In such models the gluino pair production and decay process g˜ + g˜ → ( t+ t¯+ χ˜ 0 1 ) + ( t+ t¯+ χ˜ 0 1 ) can dominate, producing large jet multiplicities when the resulting top quarks decay hadronically. In the context of MSUGRA/CMSSM models, a variety of different cascade decays, including the g˜g˜ initiated process above, can lead to large jet multiplicities. A previous ATLAS search in high jet multiplicity final states [13] examined data taken during the first half of 2011, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.34 fb−1. This paper extends the analysis to the complete ATLAS 2011 pp data set, corresponding to 4.7 fb−1, and includes improvements in the analysis and event selection that further increase sensitivity to models of interest. Events are selected with large jet multiplicities ranging from ≥ 6 to ≥ 9 jets, in associ- ation with significant EmissT . Events containing high transverse momentum (pT) electrons or muons are vetoed in order to reduce backgrounds from (semi-leptonically) decaying top quarks or W bosons. Other complementary searches have been performed by the ATLAS collaboration in final states with EmissT and one or more leptons [14, 15]. Further searches have been carried out by ATLAS using events with at least two, three or four jets [16], or with at least two b-tagged jets [17]. Searches have also been performed by the CMS collaboration, including a recent analysis in fully hadronic final states [18]. 2 The ATLAS detector and data samples The ATLAS experiment [19] is a multi-purpose particle physics detector with a forward- backward symmetric cylindrical geometry and nearly 4pi coverage in solid angle.1 The lay- out of the detector is dominated by four superconducting magnet systems, which comprise a thin solenoid surrounding inner tracking detectors, and a barrel and two end-cap toroids supporting a large muon spectrometer. The calorimeters are of particular importance to this analysis. In the pseudorapidity region |η| < 3.2, high-granularity liquid-argon (LAr) electromagnetic (EM) sampling calorimeters are used. An iron/scintillator-tile calorime- ter provides hadronic coverage for |η| < 1.7. The end-cap and forward regions, spanning 1.5 < |η| < 4.9, are instrumented with LAr calorimetry for both EM and hadronic mea- surements. The data sample used in this analysis was taken during April – October 2011 with the LHC operating at a proton-proton centre-of-mass energy of √ s = 7 TeV. Application of beam, detector and data-quality requirements resulted in a corresponding integrated luminosity of 4.7±0.2 fb−1 [20]. The analysis makes use of dedicated multi-jet triggers that required either at least four jets with pT > 45 GeV or at least five jets with pT > 30 GeV, 1ATLAS uses a right-handed coordinate system with its origin at the nominal interaction point in the centre of the detector and the z-axis along the beam pipe. Cylindrical coordinates (r, φ) are used in the transverse plane, φ being the azimuthal angle around the beam pipe. The pseudorapidity η is defined in terms of the polar angle θ by η = − ln tan(θ/2). – 2 – where the energy is measured at the electromagnetic scale2 and the jets must have |η| < 3.2. In all cases the trigger efficiency was greater than 98% for events satisfying the offline jet multiplicity selections described in Section 4. 3 Object reconstruction The jet, lepton and missing transverse momentum definitions are based closely on those of Ref. [13], with small updates to account for evolving accelerator and detector conditions. Jet candidates are reconstructed using the anti-kt jet clustering algorithm [21, 22] with radius parameter of 0.4. The inputs to this algorithm are clusters of calorimeter cells seeded by cells with energy significantly above the noise level. Jet momenta are reconstructed by performing a four-vector sum over these topological clusters of calorimeter cells, treating each as an (E, ~p) four-vector with zero mass. The jet energies are corrected for the effects of calorimeter non-compensation and inhomogeneities by using pT- and η-dependent calibration factors based on Monte Carlo (MC) simulations validated with extensive test-beam and collision-data studies [23]. Only jet candidates with pT > 20 GeV and |η| < 4.9 are retained. Further corrections are applied to any jet falling in problematic areas of the calorimeter. The event is rejected if, for any jet, this additional correction leads to a contribution to EmissT that is greater than both 10 GeV and 0.1E miss T . These criteria, along with selections against non-collision background and calorimeter noise, lead to a loss of signal efficiency of ∼8% for the models considered. When identification of jets containing heavy flavour quarks is required, either to make measurements in control regions or for cross checks, a tagging algorithm exploiting both impact parameter and secondary vertex information is used. Jets are tagged for |η| < 2.5 and the parameters of the algorithm are chosen such that 70% of b-jets and ∼1% of light flavour or gluon jets, are selected in tt¯ events in Monte Carlo simulation [24]. Jets initiated by charm quarks are tagged with about 20% efficiency. Electron candidates are required to have pT > 20 GeV and |η| < 2.47, and to sat- isfy the ‘medium’ electron shower shape and track selection criteria of Ref. [14]. Muon candidates are required to have pT > 10 GeV and |η| < 2.4. Additional requirements are applied to muons when defining leptonic control regions. In this case muons must have longitudinal and transverse impact parameters within 1 mm and 0.2 mm of the primary vertex, respectively, and the sum of the transverse momenta of other tracks within a cone of ∆R = 0.2 around the muon must be less than 1.8 GeV, where ∆R = √ (∆η)2 + (∆φ)2. The measurement of the missing transverse momentum two-vector ~pmissT and its magni- tude (conventionally denoted EmissT ) is then based on the transverse momenta of all electron and muon candidates, all jets with |η| < 4.5 which are not also electron candidates, and all calorimeter clusters with |η| < 4.5 not associated to such objects [25]. 2The electromagnetic scale is the basic calorimeter signal scale for the ATLAS calorimeters. It has been established using test-beam measurements for electrons and muons to give the correct response for the energy deposited in electromagnetic showers, although it does not correct for the lower response of the calorimeter to hadrons. – 3 – Signal region 7j55 8j55 9j55 6j80 7j80 8j80 Number of isolated leptons (e, µ) = 0 Jet pT > 55 GeV > 80 GeV Jet |η| < 2.8 Number of jets ≥ 7 ≥ 8 ≥ 9 ≥ 6 ≥ 7 ≥ 8 EmissT / √ HT > 4 GeV 1/2 Table 1. Definitions of the six signal regions. Following the steps above, overlaps between candidate jets with |η| < 2.8 and leptons are resolved as follows. First, any such jet candidate lying within a distance ∆R = 0.2 of an electron is discarded, then any lepton candidate remaining within a distance ∆R = 0.4 of such a jet candidate is discarded. Thereafter, all jet candidates with |η| > 2.8 are discarded, and the remaining electron, muon and jet candidates are retained as reconstructed objects. 4 Event selection Following the object reconstruction described in Section 3, events are discarded if they contain any jet failing quality criteria designed to suppress detector noise and non-collision backgrounds, or if they lack a reconstructed primary vertex with five or more associated tracks. For events containing no isolated electrons or muons, six non-exclusive signal regions (SRs) are defined as shown in Table 1. The first three require at least seven, eight or nine jets, respectively, with pT > 55 GeV; the latter three require at least six, seven or eight jets, respectively, with pT > 80 GeV. The final selection variable is E miss T / √ HT, the ratio of the magnitude of the missing transverse momentum to the square root of the scalar sum HT of the transverse momenta of all jets with pT > 40 GeV and |η| < 2.8. This ratio is closely related to the significance of the missing transverse momentum relative to the resolution due to stochastic variations in the measured jet energies [25]. The value of EmissT / √ HT is required to be larger than 4 GeV 1/2 for all signal regions. A previous ATLAS analysis of similar final states [13] required jets to be separated by ∆R > 0.6 to ensure that the trigger efficiency was on its plateau. It has since been demonstrated that the requirement of an offline jet multiplicity at least one larger than that used in the trigger is sufficient to achieve a 98% trigger efficiency. Investigations on the enlarged data sample, in comparison to the previous incarnation of the strategy used here, allow various improvements to be made; in particular, the requirement on jet-jet separation is modified so as to increase the acceptance for signal models of interest by a factor two to five, without introducing any significant trigger inefficiency. The dominant backgrounds are multi-jet production, including purely strong interac- tion processes and fully hadronic decays of tt¯; semi- and fully-leptonic decays of tt¯; and – 4 – leptonically decaying W or Z bosons produced in association with jets. Non-fully-hadronic tt¯, and W and Z are collectively referred to as ‘leptonic’ backgrounds. Contributions from gauge boson pair and single top quark production are negligible. The determination of the multi-jet and ‘leptonic’ backgrounds is described in Sections 6 and 7, respectively. 5 Monte Carlo simulations Monte Carlo simulations are used as part of the ‘leptonic’ background determination pro- cess, and to assess sensitivity to specific SUSY signal models. The ‘leptonic’ backgrounds are generated using Alpgen2.13 [26] with the PDF set CTEQ6L1 [27]. Fully-leptonic tt¯ events are generated with up to five additional partons in the matrix element, while semi- leptonic tt¯ events are generated with up to three additional partons in the matrix element. W + jets and Z → νν¯ + jets are generated with up to six additional partons, and the Z → `+`− + jets (for ` ∈ {e, µ, τ}) process is generated with up to five additional partons in the matrix element. In all cases, additional jets are generated via parton showering, which, together with fragmentation and hadronization, is performed by Herwig [28, 29]. Jimmy [30] is used to simulate the underlying event. The W + jets, Z + jets and tt¯ backgrounds are normalized according to their inclusive theoretical cross sections [31, 32]. The estimation of the ‘leptonic’ backgrounds in the signal regions is described in detail in Section 7. Supersymmetric production processes are generated using Herwig++2.4.2 [33]. Sig- nal cross sections are calculated to next-to-leading order in the strong coupling constant αS , including the resummation of soft gluon emission at next-to-leading-logarithmic ac- curacy (NLO+NLL) [34–38].3 An envelope of cross-section predictions is defined using the 68% confidence-level (CL) ranges of the CTEQ6.6 [39] (including the αS uncertainty) and MSTW2008 NLO [40] PDF sets, together with independent variations of the factor- ization and renormalization scales by factors of two or one half. The nominal cross- section value is then taken to be the midpoint of the envelope, and the uncertainty as- signed is half the full width of the envelope, following closely the PDF4LHC recommen- dations [41]. MSUGRA/CMSSM particle spectra and decay modes are calculated with ISAJET++7.75 [42]. For illustrative purposes, plots of kinematic quantities show the distri- bution expected for an example MSUGRA/CMSSM point that has not been excluded in previous searches. This reference point is defined by4: m0 = 2960 GeV, m1/2 = 240 GeV, A0 = 0, tanβ = 10, and µ > 0. 3The NLL correction is used for squark and gluino production when the average of the squark masses in the first two generations and the gluino mass lie between 200 GeV and 2 TeV. In the case of gluino-pair (associated squark-gluino) production processes, the calculations were extended up to squark masses of 4.5 TeV (3.5 TeV). For masses outside this range and for other types of production processes (i.e. electroweak and associated strong and electroweak), cross sections at NLO accuracy obtained with Prospino2.1 [34] are used. 4A particular MSUGRA/CMSSM model point is specified by five parameters: the universal scalar mass m0, the universal gaugino mass m1/2, the universal trilinear scalar coupling A0, the ratio of the vacuum expectation values of the two Higgs fields tanβ, and the sign of the higgsino mass parameter µ. – 5 – 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 1/ 2 Ev en ts / 2 G eV 1 10 210 310 410 510 610 710 -1L dt ~ 4.7 fb∫ > 55 GeV T 6 jets p Multi-jet control region ATLAS = 7 TeV)sData 2011 ( Background prediction qq)→tMulti-jets (inc. t ql,ll→tAlpgen t ν)τ,µ (e,→Alpgen W νν →Alpgen Z ττ →Alpgen Z =240 1/2m=2960, 0mSUSY ] 1/2 [GeVTH/ missTE 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 D at a / P re di ct io n 0.6 0.8 1 1.2 1.4 (a) 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 1/ 2 Ev en ts / 2 G eV 1 10 210 310 410 510 610 710 -1L dt ~ 4.7 fb∫ > 80 GeV T 5 jets p Multi-jet control region ATLAS = 7 TeV)sData 2011 ( Background prediction qq)→tMulti-jets (inc. t ql,ll→tAlpgen t ν)τ,µ (e,→Alpgen W νν →Alpgen Z ττ →Alpgen Z =240 1/2m=2960, 0mSUSY ] 1/2 [GeVTH/ missTE 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 D at a / P re di ct io n 0.6 0.8 1 1.2 1.4 (b) Figure 1. EmissT / √ HT distributions in example multi-jet control regions. (a) For exactly six jets with pT > 55 GeV, compared to a prediction based on the E miss T / √ HT distribution for exactly five jets with pT > 55 GeV. (b) For exactly five jets with pT > 80 GeV, compared to a prediction based on four jets with pT > 80 GeV. The multi-jet predictions have been normalized to the data in the region EmissT / √ HT < 1.5 GeV 1/2 after subtraction of the predicted ‘leptonic’ backgrounds. The most important ‘leptonic’ backgrounds are also shown, based on MC simulations. Variable bin sizes are used with bin widths (in units of GeV1/2) of 0.25 (up to 4), 0.5 (from 4 to 5), 1 (from 5 to 6), and then 2 thereafter. The error bars on the data points show the Poisson coverage interval corresponding to the number of data events observed in each bin. All Monte Carlo samples employ a detector simulation [43] based on GEANT4 [44] and are reconstructed with the same algorithms as the data. 6 Multi-jet backgrounds The dominant background at intermediate values of EmissT is multi-jet production including purely strong interaction processes and fully hadronic decays of tt¯. These processes are not reliably predicted with existing Monte Carlo calculations, and so their contributions must be determined from collision data. Indeed, the selection cuts have been designed such that multi-jet processes can be determined reliably from supporting measurements. The method for determining the multi-jet background from data is motivated by the following considerations. In events dominated by jet activity, including hadronic decays of top quarks and gauge bosons, the EmissT resolution is approximately proportional to √ HT, and is almost independent of the jet multiplicity. The distribution of the ratio EmissT / √ HT has a shape that is almost invariant under changes in the jet multiplicity, as shown in Figure 1. The multi-jet backgrounds therefore can be determined using control regions with lower EmissT / √ HT and/or lower jet multiplicity than the signal regions. 5 The control 5Residual variations in the shape of the EmissT / √ HT are later used to quantify the systematic uncertainty – 6 – regions are assumed to be dominated by Standard Model processes, an assumption that is corroborated by the agreement of multi-jet cross section measurements with up to six jets [45] with Standard Model predictions. As an example, the estimation of the background expected in the 8j55 signal region is obtained as follows. A template describing the shape of the EmissT / √ HT distribution is obtained from those events that contain exactly six jets, using the same 55 GeV pT threshold as the target signal region. That six-jet EmissT / √ HT template is normalized to the number of eight-jet events observed in the region EmissT / √ HT < 1.5 GeV 1/2 after subtraction of the ‘leptonic’ background expectation. The normalized template then provides a prediction for the multi-jet background for the 8j55 signal region for which EmissT / √ HT > 4 GeV 1/2. A similar procedure is used for each of the signal regions, and can be summarized as follows. For each jet pT threshold p< ∈ {55 GeV, 80 GeV}, control regions are defined for different numbers njet of jets found above p<. The number of events Np<,njet(smin, smax) for which EmissT / √ HT (in units of GeV 1/2) lies between smin and smax is determined, and the predicted ‘leptonic’ contributions Lp<,njet(smin, smax) subtracted N /Lp<,njet(smin, smax) = Np<,njet(smin, smax)− Lp<,njet(smin, smax). Transfer factors Tp<,njet = N /Lp<,njet(4, ∞) N /L p<,njet(0, 1.5) connect regions with the same p< and njet with different E miss T / √ HT. The multi-jet pre- diction for the signal region is found from the product of the Tp<,njet , with the same p< as the signal region and njet = 6 when p< = 55 GeV (njet = 5 when p< = 80 GeV) times the number of events (after subtracting the expected contribution from ‘leptonic’ background sources) satisfying signal region jet multiplicity requirements but with EmissT / √ HT < 1.5 GeV1/2. 6.1 Systematic uncertainties on multi-jet backgrounds The method is validated by determining the accuracy of predictions for regions with jet multiplicities and/or EmissT / √ HT smaller than those chosen for the signal regions. Figure 1 shows that the shape of the EmissT / √ HT distribution for p< = 55 GeV and njet = 6 is predicted to an accuracy of better than 20% from that measured using a template with the same value of p< and njet = 5. Similarly, the distribution for p< = 80 GeV and njet = 5 can be predicted for all EmissT / √ HT using a template with njet = 4. The templates are normalized for EmissT / √ HT < 1.5 GeV 1/2, and continue to provide a good prediction of the distribution out to values of EmissT / √ HT of 4 GeV 1/2 and beyond. Additional validation regions are defined for each p< and for jet multiplicity requirements equal to those of the signal regions, but for the intermediate values of (smin, smax) of (1.5, 2), (2, 2.5) and (2.5, 3.5). Residual inaccuracies in the predictions are used to quantify the systematic uncertainty from the closure of the method. Those uncertainties are in the range 15%– 25%, depending on p< and E miss T / √ HT. associated with the method, as described in Section 6.1. – 7 – The mean number of proton-proton interactions per bunch crossing 〈µ〉 increased dur- ing the 2011 run, reaching 〈µ〉 = 16 at the start of proton fills for runs late in the year. Sensitivity to those additional interactions is studied by considering the jet multiplicity as a function of 〈µ〉, and of the number of reconstructed primary vertices. The consistency of the high-pT tracks within the selected jets with a common primary vertex is also investi- gated. The effect of additional jets from pile-up interactions is found to be significant for low-pT jets but small for jets with pT > 45 GeV, and negligible for the jet selection used for the SRs. The presence of multiple in-time and out-of-time pp interactions also leads to a small but significant deterioration of the EmissT resolution. The effectiveness of the E miss T / √ HT template method described above is tested separately for subsets of the data with differ- ent values of the instantaneous luminosity, and hence of 〈µ〉. Good agreement is found separately for each subset of the data. Since the data set used to form the template has the same pile-up conditions as that used to form the signal regions, the changing shape of the EmissT resolution is included in the data-driven determination and does not lead to any additional systematic uncertainty. Due to the presence of neutrinos produced in the decay of hadrons containing bottom or charm quarks, events with heavy-flavour jets exhibit a different EmissT distribution. To quantify the systematic uncertainty associated with this difference, separate templates are defined for events with at least one b-tagged jet and for those with none. The sum of the predictions for events with and without b-tagged jets is compared to the flavour-blind approach, and the difference is used to characterize the systematic uncertainty from heavy flavour (10%–20%). Other systematic uncertainties account for imperfect knowledge of: the subtracted ‘leptonic’ contributions (10%), the potential trigger inefficiency (2%), and imperfect response of the calorimeter in problematic areas (1%). The backgrounds from multi-jet processes are cross checked using another data-driven technique [16] which smears the energies of individual jets from low-EmissT multi-jet ‘seed’ events in data. Separate smearing functions are defined for b-tagged and non-b-tagged jets, with each modelling both the Gaussian core and the non-Gaussian tail of the jet response, including the loss of energy from unobserved neutrinos. The jet smearing functions are derived from GEANT4 [44] simulations [43]. The Gaussian core of the function is tuned to di-jet data, and the non-Gaussian tails are verified with data in three-jet control regions in which the ~pmissT can be associated with the fluctuation of a particular jet. There is agreement within uncertainties between the background predicted by this jet-smearing method and the primary method based on the shape invariance of EmissT / √ HT. 7 ‘Leptonic’ backgrounds Non-fully-hadronic (i.e. semi-leptonic or di-leptonic) tt¯, and W and Z production are col- lectively referred to as ‘leptonic’ backgrounds. The process Z → νν + jets contributes to the signal regions since it produces jets in association with EmissT . Leptonic tt¯ and W decays contribute to the signal regions when hadronic τ decays allow them to evade the lepton – 8 – tt¯ + jets W + jets Z + jets Muon kinematics pT > 20 GeV, |η| < 2.4 Muon multiplicity = 1 = 2 Electron multiplicity = 0 b-tagged jet multiplicity ≥ 1 = 0 — mT or mµµ 50 GeV < mT < 100 GeV 80 GeV < mµµ < 100 GeV VR→ CR transform µ→ jet µ→ ν Jet pT, |η|, multiplicity (CR) As in Table 1. EmissT / √ HT (CR) Table 2. Definitions of the validation regions and control regions for the ‘leptonic’ backgrounds: tt¯ + jets, W + jets and Z + jets. The validation regions VR are defined by the first five selection requirements. A long dash ‘—’ indicates that no requirement is made. The control regions CR differ from the VR in their treatment of the muons, and by having additional requirements on jets and EmissT / √ HT, as shown in the final two rows. veto, with smaller contributions from events in which electrons or muons are produced but are not reconstructed. The ‘leptonic’ background predictions employ the Monte Carlo simulations described in Section 5. To reduce uncertainties from Monte Carlo modelling and detector response, it is desirable to normalize the background predictions to data using control regions (CR) and cross-check them against data in other validation regions (VR). These control regions and validation regions are designed to be distinct from, but kinematically close to, the signal regions. Each is designed to provide enhanced sensitivity to a particular background process. The control and validation regions are defined as shown in Table 2. By using control regions that are kinematically similar to the signal regions, theoretical uncertainties, includ- ing those arising from the use of a leading-order (LO) generator, are reduced. The tt¯ + jets and W + jets validation regions each require a single muon and no electrons. For the tt¯ process the single-muon selection is primarily sensitive to the semi-leptonic decay.6 The tt¯ + jets validation region is further enhanced by the requirement of at least one b-tagged jet, whereas for W + jets enhancement a b-tag veto is applied. Since it is dominantly through hadronic τ decays that W and tt¯ contribute to the signal regions, the correspond- ing control regions are created by recasting the muon as a (τ -)jet. For Z → νν + jets the validation regions select events from the closely related process Z → µµ + jets. The related control regions are formed from these validation regions by recasting the muons as neutrinos. In detail, for those control regions where the Monte Carlo simulations predict at least 6The procedure is also sensitive to those di-leptonic tt¯ decays in which one lepton was not observed in the VR. After the VR → CR replacement (µ → jet), the procedure captures the leading di-leptonic tt¯ contributions to the SR. – 9 – one event for 4.7 fb−1, the leptonic background prediction si for each signal region from each background is calculated by multiplying the number of data events cdatai found in the corresponding control region by a Monte Carlo-based factor tMCi si = c data i × tMCi . This transfer factor is defined to be the ratio of the number of MC events found in the signal region to the number of MC events found in the control region tMCi = sMCi cMCi . In each case, the event counts are corrected for the expected contamination by the other background processes. Whenever less than one event is predicted in the control region, the Monte Carlo prediction for the corresponding signal region is used directly, without invoking a transfer factor. For the tt¯ + jets background, the validation region requires exactly one isolated muon, at least one b-tagged jet, and no selected electrons. The transverse mass for the muon trans- verse momentum ~pµT and the missing transverse momentum two-vector ~p miss T is calculated using massless two-vectors m2T = 2|~pµT||~pmissT | − 2~pµT · ~pmissT , and must satisfy 50 GeV < mT < 100 GeV. Figure 2 shows the jet multiplicity in the tt¯ validation regions, and it is demonstrated that the Monte Carlo provides a good description of the data. The tt¯ control regions used to calculate the background expectation differ from the validation regions as follows. Since the dominant source of background is from hadronic τ decays in the control regions, the muon is used to mimic a jet, as follows. If the muon has sufficient pT to pass the jet selection threshold p<, the jet multiplicity is incremented by one. If the muon pT is larger than 40 GeV it is added to HT. The selection variable EmissT / √ HT is then recalculated, and required to be larger than the threshold value of 4 GeV1/2. Distributions of the jet multiplicity in the tt¯ control regions may also be found in Figure 2. The W + jets validation regions and control regions are defined in a similar manner to those for tt¯ + jets, except that a b-jet veto is used rather than a b-jet requirement (see Table 2). Figure 3 shows that the resulting jet multiplicity distributions are well described by the Monte Carlo simulations. The Z + jets validation regions are defined (as shown in Table 2) requiring precisely two muons with invariant mass mµµ consistent with mZ . The dominant backgrounds from Z + jets arise from decays to neutrinos, so in forming the Z + jets control regions from the validation regions, the vector sum of the ~pT of the muons is added to the measured ~p miss T , to model the EmissT expected from Z → νν events. The selection variable EmissT / √ HT is then recalculated and required to be greater than 4 GeV1/2 for events in the control region. Figure 4 shows that the resulting jet multiplicity distributions in both validation and control regions are well described by the Monte Carlo simulations. – 10 – For each of the ‘leptonic’ backgrounds further comparisons are made between Monte Carlo and data using the lower jet pT threshold of 45 GeV, showing agreement within uncertainties for all multiplicities (up to nine jets for tt¯, see Figures 2(a) and 2(b). The Alpgen Monte Carlo predictions for Z + jets and W + jets were determined with six additional partons in the matrix element calculation, and cross checked with a calculation in which only five additional partons were produced in the matrix element – in each case with additional jets being produced in the parton shower. The two predictions are consistent with each other and with the data, providing further supporting evidence that the parton shower offers a sufficiently accurate description of the additional jets. 7.1 Systematic uncertainties on ‘leptonic’ backgrounds The use of control regions is effective in reducing uncertainties from Monte Carlo modelling and detector response. When predictions are taken directly from the Monte Carlo, the ‘leptonic’ background determinations are subject to systematic uncertainties from Monte Carlo modelling of: the jet energy scale (JES, 40%), the jet energy resolution (JER, 4%), the number of multiple proton-proton interactions (3%), the b-tagging efficiency (5% for tt¯), the muon trigger and reconstruction efficiency and the muon momentum scale. The numbers in parentheses indicate the typical values of the SR event yield uncertainties prior to the partial cancellations that result from the use of control regions. The JES and JER uncertainties are calculated using a combination of data-driven and Monte Carlo techniques [23], using the complete 2011 ATLAS data set. The calculation accounts for the variation in the uncertainty with jet pT and η, and that due to nearby jets. The Monte Carlo simulations model the multiple proton-proton interactions with a varying value of 〈µ〉 which is well matched to that in the data. The residual uncertainty from pile-up interactions is determined by reweighting the Monte Carlo samples so that 〈µ〉 is increased or decreased by 10%. The uncertainty in the integrated luminosity is 3.9% [20]. When transfer factors are used to connect control regions to signal regions, the effects of these uncertainties largely cancel in the ratio. For example, the impact of the jet energy scale uncertainty is reduced to ≈ 6%. 8 Results, interpretation and limits Figure 5 shows the EmissT / √ HT distributions after applying the jet selections for the six different signal regions (see Table 1) prior to the final EmissT / √ HT > 4 GeV 1/2 requirement. Figure 6 shows the jet multiplicity distributions for the two different jet pT thresholds after the final EmissT / √ HT requirement. It should be noted that the signal regions are not exclusive. For example, in Figure 5, all plots contain the same event at EmissT / √ HT ∼ 11 GeV1/2. The ‘leptonic’ backgrounds shown in the figures are those calculated from the Monte Carlo simulation, using the MC calculation of the cross section and normalized to 4.7 fb−1. The number of events observed in each of the six signal regions, as well as their Standard Model background expectations are shown in Table 3. Good agreement is observed between SM expectations and the data for all six signal regions. Table 3 also shows the 95% confidence-level upper bound N95%BSM,max on the number of events originating from – 11 – Signal region 7j55 8j55 9j55 6j80 7j80 8j80 Multi-jets 91±20 10±3 1.2±0.4 67±12 5.4±1.7 0.42±0.16 tt¯→ q`, `` 55±18 5.7±6.0 0.70±0.72 24±13 2.8±1.8 0.38±0.40 W + jets 18±11 0.81±0.72 0+0.13 13±10 0.34±0.21 0+0.06 Z + jets 2.7±1.6 0.05±0.19 0+0.12 2.7±2.9 0.10±0.17 0+0.13 Total Standard Model 167±34 17±7 1.9±0.8 107±21 8.6±2.5 0.80±0.45 Data 154 22 3 106 15 1 N95%BSM,max (exp) 72 16 4.5 46 8.4 3.5 N95%BSM,max (obs) 64 20 5.7 46 15 3.8 σ95%BSM,max ·A ·  (exp) [fb] 15 3.4 0.96 9.8 1.8 0.74 σ95%BSM,max ·A ·  (obs) [fb] 14 4.2 1.2 9.8 3.2 0.81 pSM 0.64 0.27 0.28 0.52 0.07 0.43 Table 3. Results for each of the six signal regions for an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb−1. The expected numbers of Standard Model events are given for each of the following sources: multi-jet (including fully hadronic tt¯), semi- and fully-leptonic tt¯ decays combined, and W and Z bosons (separately) in association with jets, as well as the total Standard Model expectation. The un- certainties on the predictions show the combination of the statistical and systematic components. Where small event counts in control regions have not made it possible to determine a central value for the expectation, an asymmetric bound is given instead. The numbers of observed events are also shown. The final five rows show the statistical quantities described in the text. Both the expected (exp) and the observed (obs) values are shown for N95%BSM,max and σ 95% BSM,max ×A× . sources other than the Standard Model, the corresponding upper limit σ95%BSM,max×A×  on the cross section times efficiency within acceptance (which equals the limit on the observed number of signal events divided by the luminosity) and the p-value for the Standard-Model- only hypothesis (pSM). In the absence of significant discrepancies, limits are set in the context of two super- symmetric (SUSY) models. The first is the tanβ = 10, A0 = 0 and µ > 0 slice of the MSUGRA/CMSSM parameter space. The second is a simplified SUSY model with only a gluino octet and a neutralino χ˜ 0 1 within kinematic reach. Theoretical uncertainties on the SUSY signals are estimated as described in Section 5. Combined experimental systematic uncertainties on the signal yield from jet energy scale, resolution, and event cleaning are approximately 25%. Acceptance times efficiency values are tabulated elsewhere [49]. The limit for each signal region is obtained by comparing the observed event count with that expected from Standard Model background plus SUSY signal processes, taking into account all uncertainties on the Standard Model expectation, including those which are correlated between signal and background (for instance jet energy scale uncertainties) and all but theoretical cross section uncertainties (PDF and scale) on the signal expectation. The combined exclusion regions are obtained using the CLs prescription [50], taking the signal region with the best expected limit at each point in parameter space. The 95% confi- dence level (CL) exclusion in the tanβ = 10, A0 = 0 and µ > 0 slice of MSUGRA/CMSSM – 12 – is shown in Figure 7. The ±1σ band surrounding the expected limit shows the variation anticipated from statistical fluctuations and systematic uncertainties on SM and signal processes. The uncertainties on the supersymmetric signal cross section from PDFs and higher-order terms are calculated as described in Section 5, and the resulting signal cross section uncertainty is represented by ±1σ lines on either side of the observed limit.7 The analysis substantially extends the previous exclusion limits [13, 16, 17] for m0 > 500 GeV. For large m0, the analysis becomes independent of the squark mass, and the lower bound on the gluino mass is extended to almost 840 GeV for large mq˜. 8 In the simplified model gluinos are pair-produced and decay with unit probability to t + t¯ + χ˜ 0 1. In this context, the 95% CL exclusion bound on the gluino mass is 870 GeV for neutralino masses up to 100 GeV. 9 Summary A search for new physics is presented using final states containing large jet multiplicities in association with missing transverse momentum. The search uses the full 2011 pp LHC data set taken at √ s = 7 TeV, collected with the ATLAS detector, which corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb−1. Six non-exclusive signal regions are defined. The first three require at least seven, eight or nine jets, with pT > 55 GeV; the latter three require at least six, seven or eight jets, with pT > 80 GeV. In all cases the events are required to satisfy E miss T / √ HT > 4 GeV 1/2, and to contain no isolated high-pT electrons or muons. Investigations on the enlarged data sample have resulted in improvements compared to a previous measurement using a similar strategy. In particular, inclusion of events with smaller jet–jet separation increases the acceptance for signal models of interest by a factor two to five, without without significantly increasing the systematic uncertainty. The Standard Model multi-jet background is determined using a template-based method that exploits the invariance of EmissT / √ HT under changes in jet multiplicity, cross-checked with a jet-smearing method that uses well reconstructed multi-jet seed events from data. The other significant backgrounds — tt¯ + jets, W + jets and Z + jets — are determined using a combination of data-driven and Monte Carlo-based methods. In each of the six signal regions, agreement is found between the Standard Model pre- diction and the data. In the absence of significant discrepancies, the results are interpreted as limits in the context of R-parity conserving supersymmetry. Exclusion limits are shown for MSUGRA/CMSSM, for which, for large m0, gluino masses smaller than 840 GeV are excluded at the 95% confidence level. For a simplified supersymmetric model in which both of the pair-produced gluinos decay via the process g˜ → t + t¯ + χ˜01, gluino masses smaller than about 870 GeV are similarly excluded for χ˜ 0 1 masses up to 100 GeV. 7Previous analyses have a slightly different presentation of the effect of the signal cross section uncer- tainty. In Refs. [13, 16, 17] the effect of the signal cross section uncertainty was folded into the displayed limits and so was not shown separately. 8Limits on sparticle masses quoted in the text are those from the lower edge of the 1σ signal cross section band rather than the central value of the observed limit, so can be considered conservative. – 13 – 2 4 6 8 10 12 Ev en ts -110 1 10 210 310 410 510 610 -1L dt ~ 4.7 fb∫ > 45 GeV jets T p Top validation region ATLAS = 7 TeV)sData 2011 ( Total SM prediction ql,ll→tAlpgen t ν)τ,µ (e,→Alpgen W )ττ,µµ (ee,→Alpgen Z =240 1/2m=2960, 0mSUSY Number of jets2 4 6 8 10 12 D at a / P re di ct io n 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 (a) 2 4 6 8 10 12 Ev en ts -110 1 10 210 310 410 510 610 -1L dt ~ 4.7 fb∫ > 45 GeV jets T p Top control region ATLAS = 7 TeV)sData 2011 ( Total SM prediction ql,ll→tAlpgen t ν)τ,µ (e,→Alpgen W )ττ,µµ (ee,→Alpgen Z =240 1/2m=2960, 0mSUSY Number of jets2 4 6 8 10 12 D at a / P re di ct io n 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 (b) 2 4 6 8 10 12 Ev en ts -110 1 10 210 310 410 510 610 -1L dt ~ 4.7 fb∫ > 55 GeV jets T p Top validation region ATLAS = 7 TeV)sData 2011 ( Total SM prediction ql,ll→tAlpgen t ν)τ,µ (e,→Alpgen W )ττ,µµ (ee,→Alpgen Z =240 1/2m=2960, 0mSUSY Number of jets2 4 6 8 10 12 D at a / P re di ct io n 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 (c) 2 4 6 8 10 12 Ev en ts -110 1 10 210 310 410 510 610 -1L dt ~ 4.7 fb∫ > 55 GeV jets T p Top control region ATLAS = 7 TeV)sData 2011 ( Total SM prediction ql,ll→tAlpgen t ν)τ,µ (e,→Alpgen W )ττ,µµ (ee,→Alpgen Z =240 1/2m=2960, 0mSUSY Number of jets2 4 6 8 10 12 D at a / P re di ct io n 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 (d) 2 4 6 8 10 12 Ev en ts -110 1 10 210 310 410 510 610 -1L dt ~ 4.7 fb∫ > 80 GeV jets T p Top validation region ATLAS = 7 TeV)sData 2011 ( Total SM prediction ql,ll→tAlpgen t ν)τ,µ (e,→Alpgen W )ττ,µµ (ee,→Alpgen Z =240 1/2m=2960, 0mSUSY Number of jets2 4 6 8 10 12 D at a / P re di ct io n 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 (e) 2 4 6 8 10 12 Ev en ts -110 1 10 210 310 410 510 610 -1L dt ~ 4.7 fb∫ > 80 GeV jets T p Top control region ATLAS = 7 TeV)sData 2011 ( Total SM prediction ql,ll→tAlpgen t ν)τ,µ (e,→Alpgen W )ττ,µµ (ee,→Alpgen Z =240 1/2m=2960, 0mSUSY Number of jets2 4 6 8 10 12 D at a / P re di ct io n 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 (f) Figure 2.
