A joint explanation for the soft lepton and monojet LHC excesses in the wino-bino model

Abstract

We present new recasts of the CMS Run 2 soft-leptons + missing energy analysis and the ATLAS Run 2 multijet + missing energy analysis. These analyses are relevant for probing the parameter space of electroweak-charged particles with compressed spectra. We review these analyses and detail their implementation and validation in HackAnalysis (for CMS) and MadAnalysis 5 (ATLAS). We then use these new recasts to combine four LHC analyses to identify a region of parameter space of the "wino-bino" simplified model, which corresponds to a limit of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model in which higgsinos are decoupled, that is preferred over the Standard Model by excesses in the data. We find that the favoured region is compatible with the observed dark matter relic density, assuming freeze out within a standard cosmology, and we comment on the importance of this result and on how the simplified model should be mapped onto a complete supersymmetric model.
