Search for resonant selectron production in a dielectron and jet final state with CMS at √s = 8 TeV — •Sebastian Thüer, Andreas Güth, Thomas Hebbeker, Arnd Meyer, Lars Sonnenschein, Daniel Teyssier, and Martin Weber — III. Physikalisches Institut A, RWTH Aachen

In many supersymmetric scenarios R-parity is assumed to be conserved. However, abandoning R-parity conservation can result in a variety of new and interesting final states, some of which are not covered by the standard SUSY searches.
In the talk the search for resonant selectron production will be presented. In contrast to R-parity conserving models the selectron can be produced resonantly and can decay via a R-parity violating coupling as well. The final state with two electrons and jets will be analyzed. Standard Model backgrounds are substantially reduced by requiring the electrons to have the same charge. The search is performed with the 2012 data collected with the CMS experiment corresponding to 19.7 fb⁻¹ at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV.
