Searches for pair-produced multijet resonances using data scouting in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV

Abstract

Searches for pair-produced multijet signatures using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 128 fb${}^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV are presented. A data scouting technique is employed to record events with low jet scalar transverse momentum sum values. The electroweak production of particles predicted in $R$-parity violating supersymmetric models is probed for the first time with fully hadronic final states. This is the first search for prompt hadronically decaying mass-degenerate higgsinos, and extends current exclusions on $R$-parity violating top squarks and gluinos.
