A search for supersymmetry in events containing a leptonically decaying Z boson, jets and missing transverse momentum in sqrt(s) $=$ 13 TeV pp collisions with the ATLAS detector

Abstract

A search for supersymmetric particles decaying to a Z boson, jets, and invisible particles is presented. The search is performed using 3.2 fb-1 of sqrt(s) $=$ 13 TeV proton-proton collisions recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider and investigates a three-sigma excess of events seen in 8 TeV collisions in 2012 in a similar final state. The results are interpreted using a simplified model in which gluinos are produced and subsequently decay via the second lightest neutralino to Z bosons and lightest supersymmetric particles.
