LHC searches examined via the RPV MSSM

Abstract

We confront the ATLAS and CMS new physics searches with simplified models from R-parity violating (RPV) supersymmetry that contain naturally light stops and higgsinos. We emphasize the important role played by searches for exotic heavy quarks and leptoquarks and discuss how these searches could be modified to better address RPV scenarios. We also argue that it would be useful to design searches for new physics based on the ttbar cross section measurements, to enhance searches for taus + jets + MET with regions with b tagging and reduced MET requirements, and to expand the search program for all-jet final states, especially in the presence of multiple b-jets.
