This is the validation note for the recast in MadAnalysis 5 of the study ATLAS-SUSY-2019-08: a search for direct production of electroweakinos in final states with one lepton, missing transverse momentum and a Higgs boson decaying into two [Formula: see text]-jets in [Formula: see text] collisions at [Formula: see text] = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector, using an integrated luminosity of 139 fb[Formula: see text]. The recasting code is validated against cutflows and expected signal events for benchmark scenarios, and the exclusion limits are reproduced for a simplified supersymmetric electroweakino sector consisting of a degenerate wino decaying to a light stable bino.

Abstract The results of a search for new phenomena in final states with b-jets and missing transverse momentum using 139 fb−1 of proton-proton data collected at a centre-of-mass energy $$ \sqrt{s} $$ s = 13 TeV by the ATLAS detector at the LHC are reported. The analysis targets final states produced by the decay of a pair-produced supersymmetric bottom squark into a bottom quark and a stable neutralino. The analysis also seeks evidence for models of pair production of dark matter particles produced through the decay of a generic scalar or pseudoscalar mediator state in association with a pair of bottom quarks, and models of pair production of scalar third-generation down-type leptoquarks. No significant excess of events over the Standard Model background expectation is observed in any of the signal regions considered by the analysis. Bottom squark masses below 1270 GeV are excluded at 95% confidence level if the neutralino is massless. In the case of nearly mass-degenerate bottom squarks and neutralinos, the use of dedicated secondary-vertex identification techniques permits the exclusion of bottom squarks with masses up to 660 GeV for mass splittings between the squark and the neutralino of 10 GeV. These limits extend substantially beyond the regions of parameter space excluded by similar ATLAS searches performed previously.

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.
