SUSY Simplified Model Limits on Universal Extra Dimension Models — Lisa Edelhäuser, Michael Krämer, and •Jory Sonneveld — RWTH Aachen

To interpret searches for supersymmetry (SUSY) in terms of more general models instead of more constrained SUSY models, the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at the LHC quantify their search results in terms of simplified models, augmenting the spectrum of the standard model with a few hypothetical new particles. As these particles are often SUSY particles, one may ask how these results could be used to constrain other models of physics beyond the standard model (BSM).

In our work presented here, we discuss the usability of simplified SUSY models to estimate limits on a non-SUSY BSM model. We focus on a Universal Extra Dimensions model in order to quantify spin effects and test the interpretation of limits from simplified models in this context. For this purpose we use all-hadronic (multijet plus missing transverse energy) supersymmetry searches.
