Model Independent Search in 2-Dimensional Mass Space
Abstract
A model independent method to search for particles of unknown masses in events with missing energy is presented. The only assumption is the topology of the decay chain. The method is tested in events with top pairs decaying leptonically with the presence of two neutrinos in the final state. Possible applications are searches for a heavy resonance decaying to top pairs as well as next generation heavy quarks. Similar topologies are predicted by supersymmetric models with R-parity conservation resulting in final states with two invisible neutralinos.
