Search for higgsinos decaying to two Higgs bosons and missing transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV
JHEP 05 (2022) 014
Abstract: Results are presented from a search for physics beyond the standard model in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV in channels with two Higgs bosons, each decaying via the process H $\to\mathrm{b\bar{b}}$, and large missing transverse momentum. The search uses a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb$^{-1}$ collected by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC. The search is motivated by models of supersymmetry that predict the production of neutralinos, the neutral partners of the electroweak gauge and Higgs bosons. The observed event yields in the signal regions are found to be consistent with the standard model background expectations. The results are interpreted using simplified models of supersymmetry. For the electroweak production of nearly mass-degenerate higgsinos, each of whose decay chains yields a neutralino ($\tilde{\chi}^0_1$) that in turn decays to a massless goldstino and a Higgs boson, $\tilde{\chi}^0_1$ masses in the range 175 to 1025 GeV are excluded at 95% confidence level. For the strong production of gluino pairs decaying via a slightly lighter $\tilde{\chi}^0_2$ to H and a light $\tilde{\chi}^0_1$, gluino masses below 2330 GeV are excluded.

Observed and expected upper limits at 95% CL on the cross section for the simplified model T5HH, the strong production of a pair of gluinos each of which decays via a three-body process to quarks and a $\tilde{\chi}^0_2$ NLSP, which subsequently decays to a Higgs boson and a $\tilde{\chi}^0_1$ LSP. The dashed black line with green and yellow bands shows the expected limit with its 1- and 2-s.d. uncertainties; the solid black line shows the observed limit, and the dashed red line the theoretical cross section.

Table 1:
Summary of the uncertainties in ${\kappa}$ for the resolved signature. The sources are statistical uncertainties in the determination of ${\kappa}$ and the systematic uncertainties $\Delta \kappa (\text {data, MC})/\kappa $ derived from the comparison of simulation with data in the single-lepton, dilepton, and low-${\Delta \phi}$ control samples, each weighted by the fraction of background arising from the associated process in each search bin.

Summary of systematic uncertainties in the background prediction for the boosted signature. Values in cells spanning the 1H and 2H columns affect only ${f_{\text {pTmiss}}}$. The values from the ABCD measurement with the ${p_{\mathrm {T}}}$-integrated sample appear in the rows labeled $ {{p_{\mathrm {T}}} ^\text {miss}} > $ 300 GeV. The row labeled $\Delta (\text {data, MC})$ gives the contribution derived from the comparison of simulation with data in the one-lepton control sample.

The first and second uncertainties in the ${\kappa}$ factors are statistical and systematic, respectively. The uncertainties in ${N_{\text {SR}}^{\text {pred}}}$ and ${N_{\text {SR}}^{\text {fit}}}$, extracted from the maximum likelihood fit, include both statistical and systematic contributions. The interpretation of the results in bin 11 is discussed in the text.

The values of ${N_{\text {SR}}^{\text {pred}}}$ and ${N_{\text {SR}}^{\text {fit}}}$ are extracted from the maximum likelihood fit, with uncertainties that include both statistical and systematic contributions.
Summary
A search has been presented for physics beyond the standard model in channels leading to pairs of Higgs bosons and an imbalance of transverse momentum, produced in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV. The data sample, collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb$^{-1}$. The Higgs bosons are reconstructed via their decay to a pair of b quarks, observed either as distinct b quark jets (resolved signature), or as wide-angle jets that each contain the pair of b quarks (boosted signature). The observed event yields in 15 of the 16 analysis bins of the resolved signature, and all 6 bins of the boosted signature, are consistent with the background predictions based on SM processes. In one bin of the resolved signature, an excess is observed, for which the global significance is 2.1 standard deviations when all 16 bins are considered. A narrow, single-bin effect is not typical of the supersymmetry (SUSY) models under consideration.

These results are used to set limits on the cross sections for the production of particles predicted by SUSY, considering both the direct production of neutralinos and their production through intermediate states with gluinos. For the electroweak production of nearly-degenerate higgsinos, each of whose decay cascades yields a ${\tilde{\chi}^0_1}$ that in turn decays through a Higgs boson to the lightest SUSY particle (LSP), a massless goldstino, $\tilde{\chi}^0_1$ masses in the range 175-1025 GeV are excluded at 95% confidence level. For a model with a mass splitting between the directly produced, degenerate higgsinos $\tilde{\chi}^0_2 \tilde{\chi}^0_3$, and a bino LSP, a small region where $m(\tilde{\chi}^0_1)$ is less than 15 GeV is excluded; for $m(\tilde{\chi}^0_1) = $ 1 GeV the excluded range of $m(\tilde{\chi}^0_2)$ is 265-305 GeV. For the strong production of gluino pairs decaying via a slightly lighter $\tilde{\chi}^0_2$ to a Higgs boson and a light $\tilde{\chi}^0_1$ LSP, gluino masses below 2330 GeV are excluded. The bounds on masses found here extend previous limits for these models by about 150 and 320 GeV for the $\tilde{\chi}^0_1$ and gluino, respectively.
