CERN-LHC. A search for the supersymmetric partners of quarks and gluons (squarks and gluinos) in final states containing hadronic jets and missing transverse momentum, but no electrons or muons, is presented. The data used in this search were recorded in 2015 and 2016 by the ATLAS experiment in $\sqrt{s}=13\mathrm{\ Te\kern -0.1em V}$ proton--proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb$^{-1}$. The results are interpreted in the context of various models where squarks and gluinos are pair-produced and the neutralino is the lightest supersymmetric particle. An exclusion limit at the 95% confidence level on the mass of the gluino is set at 2.03$\mathrm{\ Te\kern -0.1em V}$ for a simplified model incorporating only a gluino and the lightest neutralino, assuming the lightest neutralino is massless. For a simplified model involving the strong production of mass-degenerate first- and second-generation squarks, squark masses below 1.55$\mathrm{\ Te\kern -0.1em V}$ are excluded if the lightest neutralino is massless. These limits substantially extend the region of supersymmetric parameter space previously excluded by searches with the ATLAS detector. Signal region efficiency for simplified model with squark pair production and direct decays to a quark and neutralino in SR RJR-C2.

Results are given as a function of $\tilde\chi^{\pm}_{1}/\tilde\chi^{0}_{1}$ mass and branching fraction to Z bosons, and are derived separately when requiring that the charged-lepton decays of $\tilde\chi^{\pm}_{1}/\tilde\chi^{0}_{1}$ are into electrons only No data abstract available.

Exclusion curve for the simplified model of $\tilde\chi^{\pm}_{1}\tilde\chi^{\mp}_{1} + \tilde\chi^{0}_{1}\tilde\chi^{0}_{1}$ pair-production as a function of $\tilde\chi^{\pm}_{1}/\tilde\chi^{0}_{1}$ branching fraction to $Z$ and Higgs bosons. Results are shown for the charged-lepton decays of $\tilde\chi^{\pm}_{1}/\tilde\chi^{0}_{1}$ into electrons only for a mass of 700 GeV. The expected 95% CL exclusion (dashed black line) is shown with $\pm1~\sigma_{\mathrm{exp}}$ (yellow band) from systematic and statistical uncertainties on the expected yields. The observed 95% CL exclusion (solid red line) is shown with the $\pm1~\sigma_{\mathrm{theory}}^{\mathrm{SUSY}}$ (dotted red line) from signal cross section uncertainties on the signal models. The phase-space excluded by the search is shown in the shaded color. No data abstract available.

ATLAS CERN-LHC. Measurements of exclusive electron muon events in ATLAS at 8 TeV are used to estimate the exclusive cross section for W+W-, put limits on anomolous quartic couplings (aQGCs), and limit the cross section for diffractive Higgs production. The fiducial region is defined as - |etaLepton| <2.5 - ptLepton >25 (second lepton >20 or >15 for Higgs study) - exclusivity no other track associated with the electron/muon intersection with pt >0.5 The luminosity is 20.2 (0.4) 1/fb at 8 TeV. Calibration of exclusivity is data based and e e and mu mu results agree with previous measurements. The results are - dimuons > 160 GeV/c2 ratio observed/elastic predicted 3.30 (0.22) (0.06) - WW sigmaB emuX (gamma gamma) 6.9 (2.2) (1.4) pb consistent with expectation - anomolous expect pt(emu) >120 expect 0.4 see 1, limits on dim 6 and 8 - Higgs selection expect 3 see 6, UL 95% 1.2 pb Observed allowed ranges for 8 dimensional aQGCs, cutoff 500).
