Searches for Pair-Produced Multijet Resonances Using Data Scouting in Proton-Proton Collisions at √<i>s</I>=13 Tev

Abstract

Searches for pair-produced multijet signatures using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 128 fb(-1) of proton-proton collisions at root s = 13 TeV are presented. A data scouting technique is employed to record events with low jet scalar transverse momentum sum values. The electroweak production of particles predicted in R-parity violating supersymmetric models is probed for the first time with fully hadronic final states. This is the first search for prompt hadronically decaying mass-degenerate higgsinos, and extends current exclusions on R-parity violating top squarks and gluinos.
