Abstract We reinterpret two recent LHC searches for events containing four top quarks $$ \left(t\overline{t}t\overline{t}\right) $$ t t ¯ t t ¯ in the context of supersymmetric models with Dirac gauginos and color-octet scalars (sgluons). We explore whether sgluon contributions to the four-top production cross section $$ \sigma \left( pp\to t\overline{t}t\overline{t}\right) $$ σ pp → t t ¯ t t ¯ can accommodate an excess of four-top events recently reported by the ATLAS collaboration. We also study constraints on these models from an ATLAS search for new phenomena with high jet multiplicity and significant missing transverse energy $$ \left({E}_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{miss}}\right) $$ E T miss sensitive to signals with four top quarks. We find that these two analyses provide complementary constraints, with the jets + $$ {E}_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{miss}} $$ E T miss search exceeding the four-top cross section measurement in sensitivity for sgluons heavier than about 800 GeV. We ultimately find that either a scalar or a pseudoscalar sgluon can currently fit the ATLAS excess in a range of reasonable benchmark scenarios, though a pseudoscalar in minimal Dirac gaugino models is ruled out. We finally offer sensitivity projections for these analyses at the HL-LHC, mapping the 5σ discovery potential in sgluon parameter space and computing exclusion limits at 95% CL in scenarios where no excess is found.

We present the MadAnalysis 5 implementation and validation of the analysis Search for supersymmetry in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV in final states with jets and missing transverse momentum (CMS-SUS-19-006). The search targets signatures with at least two jets and large missing transverse momentum in the all-hadronic final state. The analyzed luminosity is 137 fb[Formula: see text], corresponding to the Run 2 proton-proton data set recorded by the CMS detector at 13 TeV. This implementation has been validated in a variety of simplified models, by comparing derived cut flow tables and histograms with information provided by the CMS collaboration, using event samples that we simulated for the purpose of this re-implementation study. The validation is found to reproduce the signal acceptance in most cases.

We present the implementation in MadAnalysis 5 of the ATLAS-SUSY-2018-32 search for new physics and document the validation of this re-implementation. This analysis targets, with 139 fb[Formula: see text] of proton–proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector, the electroweak pair production of supersymmetric charginos and sleptons when they further decay into a final state comprising a pair of leptons and missing energy. The validation of our work is based on three [Formula: see text]-parity conserving supersymmetric benchmark setups that feature, respectively, chargino pair-production followed by decays into leptons via an intermediate weak boson, chargino pair-production followed by chargino cascade decays into leptons through a slepton mediator, and slepton pair-production followed by slepton direct decays into leptons.
