Model Unspecific Search in CMS - 2016 Introduction — •Saranya Ghosh, Tobias Pook, Deborah Duchardt, Thomas Hebbeker, Jonas Lieb, Arnd Meyer, and Jonas Roemer — III. Physikalisches Institut A, RWTH Aachen University

In 2016, the CMS experiment recorded an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb⁻¹ of proton-proton collision data at a center of mass energy of √s = 13 TeV. This increase in energy and luminosity compared to the √s = 7, 8 TeV dataset collected during Run I of the LHC presents a unique opportunity in the search for new physics beyond the standard model.

The Model Unspecific Search in CMS (MUSiC) searches for physics beyond the standard model independent of theoretical models. Using an automated method, kinematic distributions of the data are compared with the standard model expectation in several different final states. Therefore, MUSiC reduces the chance of overlooking new physics, since even final states not covered by dedicated analyses are investigated.

This talk presents the motivation, concept and methods used for the MUSiC analysis of the 2016 dataset collected by CMS and gives an introduction to the interpretation of a global comparison of simulation and data that will be presented in a following talk.
