The analysis uses 139 fb−1of proton-proton collision data at √s= 13 TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider between 2015 and 2018. The selection rejects events containing isolated electrons or muons, and makes requirements according to the number of b-tagged jets and the scalar sum of masses of large-radius jets. The search extends previous analyses both in using a larger dataset and by employing improved jet and missing transverse momentum reconstruction methods which more cleanly separate signal from background processes. No evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model is found. The results are interpreted in the context of supersymmetry-inspired simplified models, significantly extending the limits on the gluino mass in those models. In particular, limits on the gluino mass are set at 2 TeV when the lightest neutralino is nearly massless in a model assuming a two-step cascade decay via the lightest chargino and second-lightest neutralino.

Evidence for SUSY models may be sought through searches for the production of these heavy particles (such as gluinos) decaying, often via extended cascades, into lighter ones. If the lightest of these interacts only weakly and is stable then it can be an ideal dark-matter candidate. In R-parity-conserving (RPC) [8] SUSY models, the presence of a stable lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) often leads to final states with significant missing transverse momentum (Emiss T), often accompanied by a large number of jets. Large jet multiplicities would also occur in events in which gluinos decay via R-parity-violating (RPV) [9] couplings on short (.ns) timescales. In this case the LSPs decay within the detector volume, so that the only invisible particles produced are neutrinos coming from SUSY particle decays, and hence the Emiss Tper event is generally smaller. A similar signature arises from any model in which cascade decays lead to the production of many jets, together with Emiss T either from dark-matter particles or neutrinos. – 1 –
JHEP10(2020)062 This paper reports the results of an analysis of 139 fb−1of pp collision data recorded at √s= 13 TeV by the ATLAS experiment [10] throughout the entire Run-2 period of the LHC (2015–2018). It explores events with significant Emiss Tand at least eight jets with large transverse momentum (pT). Selected events are further classified into categories based on the presence of jets containing b-hadrons (b-jets) or on the sum of the masses of largeradius jets. The b-jet selection improves sensitivity to beyond-the-Standard-Model (BSM) signals with enhanced heavy-flavour decays. Given the unusually high jet multiplicities of the selected events, large jet masses can originate both from the capture of decay products from boosted heavy particles, including top quarks, and from accidental combinations [11]. The major backgrounds to the signal in this search are multijet production from QCD processes, top quark pair production (t¯ t) and Wboson production in association with jets (W+jets). Previous searches by ATLAS in similar final states were carried out on smaller LHC datasets recorded at √s= 7 TeV and √s= 8 TeV during 2011 and 2012 [12–14]. In addition, two searches were performed at √s= 13 TeV, one analysing the 2015 dataset [15] and one combining it with 2016 data [16] to achieve a total integrated luminosity of 36 fb−1. The current analysis extends those previous studies by including the complete Run-2 LHC dataset, by using an optimised selection tailored to the increased integrated luminosity, and also by incorporating several improved analysis methods which further increase sensitivity. One such development is the use of the particle-flow jet and Emiss Treconstruction algorithms recently developed for the ATLAS experiment [17]. These algorithms combine measurements of inner tracker and calorimeter energy deposits to improve the accuracy of the charged-hadron measurement, leading to improvements in the jet and Emiss Tresolution and stability against additional pp interactions in the same LHC bunch crossing. The analysis also employs an improved Emiss Tsignificance calculation [18], which accounts for the resolution of the reconstructed objects individually. This new definition increases the separation between events in which the Emiss Toriginates from weakly interacting particles and those in which Emiss Tis only due to detector resolution effects. The combination of the larger dataset and the developments in the analysis methodology provides this analysis with sensitivity over a significantly increased mass range. 2 ATLAS detector The ATLAS detector [10] is a multipurpose particle detector with a nearly 4πcoverage in solid angle.1It consists of an inner tracking detector (ID) surrounded by a thin superconducting solenoid providing a 2 T axial magnetic field, electromagnetic (EM) and hadronic 1ATLAS uses a right-handed coordinate system with its origin at the nominal interaction point in the centre of the detector. The positive x-axis is defined by the direction from the interaction point to the centre of the LHC ring, with the positive y-axis pointing upwards, while the beam direction defines the z-axis. Cylindrical coordinates (r, φ) are used in the transverse plane, φbeing the azimuthal angle around the z-axis. The pseudorapidity ηis defined in terms of the polar angle θby η=−ln tan(θ/2). The rapidity is defined as y= 0.5 ln[(E+pz)/(E−pz)] where Edenotes the energy and pzis the component of the momentum along the beam direction. The transverse energy is defined to be ET=Ecos θ. The angular distance ∆Ris defined as p(∆y)2+ (∆φ)2. – 2 –
JHEP10(2020)062 calorimeters, and a muon spectrometer. The inner tracking detector covers the pseudorapidity range |η|<2.5. It consists of silicon pixel, silicon microstrip, and transition radiation tracking detectors. A new inner pixel layer, the insertable B-layer [19,20], was added at a mean radius of 3.3 cm before the start of the 2015 data-taking period, improving the identification of b-jets. Lead/liquid-argon (LAr) sampling calorimeters provide EM energy measurements with high granularity. A steel/scintillator-tile hadron calorimeter covers the central pseudorapidity range (|η|<1.7). The endcap and forward regions are instrumented with LAr calorimeters for EM and hadronic energy measurements up to |η|= 4.9. The muon spectrometer surrounds the calorimeters and is based on three large air-core toroidal superconducting magnets with eight coils each. The field integral of the toroids ranges between 2.0 and 6.0 Tm across most of the detector. The muon spectrometer includes a system of precision tracking chambers and fast detectors for triggering. A two-level trigger system [21] is used to select events. The first-level trigger is implemented in hardware and uses a subset of the detector information to keep the accepted rate below 100 kHz. This is followed by a software-based trigger that reduces the accepted event rate to 1 kHz on average. 3 Datasets 3.1 Data The events considered in this paper correspond to 139 fb−1of pp LHC collision data collected between 2015 and 2018 by the ATLAS detector, at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV and with a 25 ns proton bunch crossing interval. In 2015–2016 the average number of interactions per bunch crossing (pile-up) was hµi= 20, increasing to hµi= 38 in 2017 and hµi= 37 in 2018. The uncertainty in the combined 2015–2018 integrated luminosity is 1.7% [22], obtained using the LUCID-2 detector [23] for the primary luminosity measurements. Events were recorded using a variety of trigger selections. During both 2015 and 2016, events were selected by a trigger requiring at least six jets with ET>45 GeV and central pseudorapidity, |η|<2.4. Further events were triggered in 2015 by requiring the presence of at least five jets with ET>70 GeV and |η|<3.2, and in 2016 with a trigger requiring at least five jets with ET>65 GeV and |η|<2.4. In both 2017 and 2018, events were selected by triggers requiring at least five jets with ET>70 GeV and |η|<2.4, or seven jets with ET>45 GeV and |η|<2.4. Additional triggers were also used in 2017 and for some periods in 2018, which required at least six jets with ET>45 GeV and |η|<2.4. Due to their large trigger rates, these were set to select only a fraction of the events, approximately 15% of the two years’ data; such triggers are referred to as ‘prescaled’ triggers. The trigger jet calibration was improved in 2017–2018, resulting in substantially improved efficiency [24] after offline selection for the same trigger thresholds. The trigger selections are summarised later in table 1together with further event selections. Data quality requirements are imposed to ensure that only events in which the entire ATLAS detector was functioning well are used [25]. These, for example, exclude events containing data corruption in the ID and calorimeters, excessive noise and spurious jets produced by non-collision backgrounds [26,27]. – 3 –
JHEP10(2020)062 3.2 Monte Carlo simulations Simulated events produced with several Monte Carlo (MC) event generators are used to predict yields for subdominant background contributions from Standard Model (SM) processes and for possible signals. All simulated events are overlaid with multiple pp collisions simulated with the soft QCD processes of Pythia 8.186 [28] using the A3 set of tuned parameters (A3 tune) [29] and the NNPDF2.3 LO parton distribution functions (PDFs) [30]. The simulated events are required to pass the trigger selections, and are weighted such that the pile-up conditions match those of the data. The response of the detector to particles was modelled with an ATLAS detector simulation [31] based on Geant4 [32] (full simulation), or using fast simulation based on a parameterisation of the performance of the ATLAS EM and hadronic calorimeters [33] and on Geant4 elsewhere. For the generation of t¯ tand single top quarks via the W t process and in the s-channel, matrix elements were calculated at next-to-leading order (NLO) using the Powheg- Box v2 generator [34–39] with the NNPDF3.0 NLO PDF set [40] in the five-flavour scheme. Electroweak t-channel single-top-quark events were generated using Powheg- Box v2, using the four-flavour scheme for the NLO matrix element calculations together with the fixed four-flavour PDF set NNPDF3.04f NLO. The diagram removal scheme [41] was used to prevent Wt events from being counted as t¯ tevents beyond leading order (LO). For these processes, the top quarks were decayed using MadSpin [42,43] preserving all spin correlations, while for all processes the parton shower, fragmentation, and the underlying event were simulated using Pythia 8.230 [44] with the NNPDF2.3 LO PDF set and the ATLAS A14 tune [45]. The top quark mass was set to 172.5 GeV. The hdamp parameter, which controls the pTof the first additional emission beyond the Born configuration in Powheg, was set to 1.5 times the mass of the top quark. The main effect of this parameter is to regulate the high-pTemission against which the t¯ tsystem recoils. The EvtGen v1.6.0 program [46] was used to model properties of the b- and c-hadron decays for this process and all others not simulated with Sherpa [47] unless otherwise stated. Simulated t¯ tevents are normalised to the cross-section calculated at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in perturbative QCD, including soft-gluon resummation to next-to-next-to-leading-logarithm (NNLL) accuracy [48]. The single-top-quark events for the W t channel are normalised using its approximate NNLO prediction [49,50], while the t- and s-channels are normalised using their NLO predictions [51,52]. Events containing t¯ tand additional heavy particles — comprising three or four top quarks, t¯ t+W,t¯ t+Zand t¯ t+WW production — were modelled using Mad- Graph5 aMC@NLO [53] for the matrix element calculation, interfaced to the Pythia 8 parton shower, hadronisation and underlying event model. The t¯ t+WW, three- and four-top-quark processes were simulated at LO in the strong coupling constant αS, using MadGraph5 aMC@NLO v2.2.2 interfaced to Pythia 8.186. The predicted production cross-sections were calculated to NLO as described in ref. [53] for these processes other than three-top-quark production, for which the cross-section was calculated to LO. The production of t¯ t+Wand t¯ t+Zevents was modelled using MadGraph5 aMC@NLO v2.3.3 – 4 –
JHEP10(2020)062 at NLO with the NNPDF3.0 NLO PDF. Top quarks were decayed at LO using Mad- Spin to preserve spin correlations. Parton shower and hadronisation were modelled with Pythia 8.210. The cross-sections were calculated at NLO QCD and NLO EW accuracy using MadGraph5 aMC@NLO as reported in ref. [54]. In the case of t¯ t`` the cross-section is additionally scaled by an off-shell correction estimated at one-loop level in αS. For all processes, the A14 set of Pythia 8 parameters was used, together with the NNPDF2.3 LO PDF set. EvtGen v1.2.0 was used to model properties of the b- and c-hadron decays. The contribution from t¯ t+Hwas checked and found to be negligible. Events containing Wor Zbosons associated with jets were simulated using the Sherpa v2.2.1 generator. Matrix elements were calculated for up to two partons at NLO and four partons at LO using the Comix [55] and OpenLoops [56] matrix element generators and merged with the Sherpa parton shower [57] using the ME+PS@NLO prescription [58]. The NNPDF3.0 NNLO PDF set [40] was used in association with a tuning performed by the Sherpa authors. Diboson processes with one hadronically decaying boson accompanied by one charged lepton and one neutrino, two charged leptons or two neutrinos were simulated using Sherpa v2.1.1. The calculations include one additional parton at NLO for ZZ →2`+q¯q and ZZ →2ν+q¯qonly, and up to three additional partons at LO using the Comix and OpenLoops matrix element generators and merged with the Sherpa parton shower using the ME+PS@NLO prescription. The NNPDF3.0 NNLO PDF set was used in conjunction with a dedicated parton shower tuning developed by the Sherpa authors. Diboson processes with four charged leptons, three charged leptons and one neutrino, or two charged leptons and two neutrinos, are found to be negligible. Theoretical uncertainties are considered for all simulated samples. By far the most important process simulated in this analysis is t¯ tproduction, and several samples produced with different configurations, as explained below, are compared to estimate the uncertainty in this background. Samples were produced with the factorisation and renormalisation scales varied coherently up and down by a factor of two, and with parameters set to provide more/less radiation in the parton shower [59]. Additionally, to account for uncertainties from the parton shower modelling and generator choice, the nominal sample is compared to a sample generated with Powheg-Box interfaced to Herwig 7 [60] using the H7- UE tune [61] and the MMHT2014 LO PDF set [62], as well as samples generated with MadGraph5 aMC@NLO interfaced to Pythia 8. These alternative samples each use the NNPDF3.0 NLO PDF for the matrix element calculation. The comparison with samples which vary the amount of additional radiation contributes the largest uncertainty in the t¯ t signal region predictions. Similar alternative samples are used to assess the uncertainties in single-top-quark production, whereas uncertainties in other processes are handled via scale variations in the corresponding generator. Full simulation was used for all background MC samples, ensuring an accurate representation of detector effects. Further details of samples can be found in refs. [59,63,64]. A number of SUSY signal model samples were simulated using the ATLAS fast detector simulation [31] to allow the interpretation of the search results in terms of SUSY parameters. Substantial cross-sections are possible for production of gluinos. The resulting – 5 –

In (c), λ00 323 is one of the couplings of the third-generation squark to quarks in the RPV model. cascade decays result in a large multiplicity of jets, and may also exhibit an unusually high heavy-flavour content or atypically large jet masses. The first type of SUSY signal simulated is a simplified model, in which gluinos are pair-produced and then decay through an off-shell squark via the cascade: ˜g→q+ ¯q0+˜χ± 1q, q0∈ {u, d, s, c}, ˜χ± 1→W±+˜χ0 2, ˜χ0 2→Z+˜χ0 1, where the quarks are only permitted to be from the first two generations. The parameters of the model are the masses of the gluino, m˜g, and of the lightest neutralino, m˜χ0 1. The mass of the ˜χ± 1is constrained to be (m˜g+m˜χ0 1)/2, and the mass of the ˜χ0 2is set to (m˜χ± 1+m˜χ0 1)/2. A diagram of this ‘two-step’ simplified model is shown in figure 1(a). An additional signal model to which this analysis has significant sensitivity is gluinomediated top squark (˜ t1) production, in which top-quark-rich final states are produced as shown in figure 1(b). This model manifests itself as top quark production via either offshell or on-shell top squarks. In the off-shell model, pair-production of gluinos is followed by their decay with a 100% branching ratio into t¯ t+˜χ0 1, through a virtual top squark. Naturalness arguments for SUSY favour light gluinos, top squarks, and Higgsinos, so they motivate consideration of this final state. Permitting non-zero RPV couplings allows consideration of another variety of gluinomediated top squark production, wherein the last step of the decay proceeds via a baryonnumber-violating interaction: ˜ t1→¯s+¯ b(with charge conjugates implied). Such RPV models may give rise to final states with missing transverse momentum, for example from leptonic decays of Wbosons produced in top quark decays. The current analysis accepts final states with sufficiently low missing transverse momentum to be sensitive to these RPV scenarios. Figure 1(c) presents the RPV simplified model considered, for which the coupling strength induces prompt top squark decays. The signal samples were generated using MadGraph5 aMC@NLO interfaced to Pythia 8 with the A14 tune for the modelling of the parton shower, hadronisation and – 6 –
JHEP10(2020)062 underlying event. The versions of the generators used for the two-step and RPV simplified models were MadGraph5 aMC@NLO v2.6.2 with Pythia 8.212, and for the gluinomediated top squark model MadGraph5 aMC@NLO v2.3.3 with Pythia 8.212. The matrix element calculation was performed at tree level and includes the emission of up to two additional partons. The PDF set used for the generation was NNPDF2.3 LO. The Evt- Gen v1.6.0 program was used to simulate properties of the b- and c-hadron decays. The matrix-element to parton-shower matching was done using the CKKW-L prescription [65], with a matching scale set to m˜g/4. Signal cross-sections were calculated to approximate NNLO in the strong coupling constant, adding the resummation of soft gluon emission at NNLL accuracy [66–73]. The nominal cross-section and its uncertainty were determined using the PDF4LHC15 mc PDF set, following the recommendations of ref. [74]. 4 Reconstruction and particle identification Primary vertices are reconstructed using at least two charged-particle tracks with pT> 500 MeV measured by the ID [75]. The primary vertex with the largest sum of squared track transverse momenta (Pp2 T) is designated as the hard-scatter vertex. Jets are reconstructed using the anti-kt[76–78] jet algorithm with radius parameter R= 0.4. It uses as inputs particle-flow objects. These are charged-particle tracks matched to the hard-scatter vertex with the requirement |z0sin θ|<2.0 mm, where z0is the longitudinal impact parameter, and calorimeter energy clusters surviving an energy subtraction algorithm that removes the calorimeter deposits of good-quality tracks originating from any vertex [17]. To eliminate jets containing a large energy contribution from pile-up, jets are tested for compatibility with the hard-scatter vertex with the jet vertex tagger (JVT) discriminant, utilising information from the ID tracks associated with the jet [79]. Any jets with 20 GeV < pT<120 GeV and |η|<2.4 for which JVT <0.5 are considered to originate from pile-up and are therefore rejected from the analysis. After the selection above is applied, only jets with pT>20 GeV and |η|<2.8 are considered in this analysis, with the exception of the Emiss Tcalculation, for which jets in the range 2.8≤ |η| ≤ 4.5 are also used. Hadronically decaying τ-leptons are not discriminated from other hadronic jets. Reconstructed R= 0.4 jets with pT>20 GeV and |η|<2.0 are reclustered to form large-radius jets using the anti-ktalgorithm with radius parameter R= 1.0 [80]. The input jets are required to pass an overlap removal procedure accounting for ambiguities between jets and leptons, as discussed below. Large-radius jets are retained for analysis if they have pT>100 GeV and |η|<1.5. Jets containing b-hadrons and which are within the ID acceptance (|η|<2.5) are identified as b-tagged jets using a multivariate algorithm that exploits the impact parameters of the charged-particle tracks, the presence of secondary vertices, and the reconstructed flight paths of b- and c-hadrons inside the jet [81]. The output of the algorithm is a single discriminant value which signifies the likelihood that the jet contains a b-hadron. This analysis considers jets to be b-tagged if the discriminant exceeds a threshold that results in an average identification efficiency of 70% for jets containing b-hadrons in simulated t¯ t – 7 –
JHEP10(2020)062 events [82]. In the same event sample, a rejection factor of approximately 300 is reached for jets initiated by light quarks and gluons and 8.9 for jets initiated by charm quarks. Electron candidates are reconstructed from energy deposits in the EM calorimeter that are matched to charged-particle tracks in the ID [83]. ‘Baseline electrons’ are required to satisfy pT>7 GeV and |η|<2.47. They are identified using the ‘loose’ operating point provided by a likelihood-based algorithm [83]. Electrons with pT>20 GeV are defined as ‘signal electrons’ if they pass a ‘tight’ likelihood selection including impact parameter restrictions and the ‘GradientLoose’ isolation requirement [84] in addition to the ‘baseline electron’ preselection. To achieve additional rejection of background electrons from nonprompt sources, signal electron tracks must be matched to the hard-scatter vertex with a longitudinal impact parameter |z0sin θ|<0.5 mm and a transverse impact parameter significance |d0|/σ(d0)<5. Signal electrons are used in leptonic control regions, as described in section 6.2. The electron reconstruction and identification efficiency in simulated samples are corrected by factors determined by data-MC comparison using a given final state [84]. Photon candidates are identified using ‘tight’ criteria for lateral shower shapes in the first and second layers of the EM calorimeter, as well as for the degree of hadronic shower leakage [83]. Acceptance requirements of pT>40 GeV and |η|<2.37 are applied. Additionally, photons falling in the region 1.37 <|η|<1.52 are removed, to avoid a region of the calorimeter with limited instrumentation. Muon candidates are reconstructed from matching tracks in the ID and muon spectrometer, refined through a global fit which uses the hits from both subdetectors [85]. ‘Baseline muons’ must have pT>6 GeV and |η|<2.7, and satisfy the ‘medium’ identification criteria. Similarly to electrons, the longitudinal impact parameter z0relative to the hard-scatter vertex is required to satisfy |z0sin θ|<0.5 mm. Muons are characterised as ‘signal muons’ if they have a higher transverse momentum, pT>20 GeV, and satisfy the ‘GradientLoose’ isolation requirement [85], as well as a further transverse impact parameter restriction |d0|/σ(d0)<3. Signal muons are used in leptonic control regions, as described in section 6.2. Muon reconstruction and identification efficiencies in simulated samples are corrected with factors evaluated by a data-MC comparison [86]. To resolve the reconstruction ambiguities between electrons, muons, photons and jets, an overlap removal procedure is applied to baseline objects. First, any electron sharing an ID track with a muon is rejected. If it shares the same ID track with another electron, the one with lower pTis discarded. Next, photons with ∆R < 0.4 relative to an electron or a muon are discarded. Subsequently, non-b-tagged jets are rejected if they lie within ∆R= 0.2 of an electron or if the jet has no more than three tracks with pT>500 MeV, or contains an ID track matched to a muon such that pjet T<2pµ Tand the muon track has more than 70% of the sum of the transverse momenta of all tracks in the jet, such that the jet resembles radiation from the muon. Finally, electrons or muons with ∆R < 0.4 from a surviving jet are eliminated and jets with ∆R < 0.4 from photons are removed. The missing transverse momentum, Emiss T, is defined as the magnitude of the negative vector sum of the transverse momenta of baseline electrons and muons, photons and jets, which pass an overlap removal procedure, based on removing duplicated energy contributions and therefore distinct from that used for jet/lepton disambiguation.

For the row labelled ‘prescaled data’, a six-jet trigger was used that collected only a fraction of the Run 2 data. The superscript ‘prescale’ is used to indicate the template regions used to predict the VRNjet background using prescaled data. 6.2 Leptonic backgrounds The SM processes which produce multijet events with one or more leptons are categorised as leptonic backgrounds. Although events containing charged leptons (eor µ) are excluded from the signal regions, it is still possible for leptonic backgrounds to contaminate them. The veto only applies to events containing electrons or muons, and hence hadronically decaying τ-leptons (originating from top quark or Wboson decays) remain a source of background. Such τ-leptons are treated as jets within this analysis, so they may contribute to the jet count if they have sufficient pT, and the momentum lost through any associated neutrinos can also cause these events to enter the signal regions. Additionally, there are cases where the electrons or muons may fall outside of the detector acceptance, or be misreconstructed in the detector, increasing the Emiss Tof the event. The two largest leptonic backgrounds are from leptonically and semileptonically decaying t¯ t, and leptonically decaying Wbosons produced in association with jets. The estimation of these backgrounds employs the MC simulations described in section 3. To reduce normalisation and modelling uncertainties the background predictions are normalised to data using CRs. The control regions are designed to be kinematically similar to signal regions, but not to overlap with them. They are designed to enhance the contributions from particular backgrounds, in order to measure those backgrounds cleanly, while being comparatively sparse in signal contamination. Statistical orthogonality between the signal regions and the leptonic CRs is achieved by requiring exactly one electron or muon in CR events. To reduce statistical uncertainties, each Njet ≥msignal region has a corresponding (Njet ≥ m−1) control region, except in the case of signal regions with an N50 jet ≥8 requirement, where there are sufficiently large yields in the control region to match the signal region Njet ≥mrequirement. In order to increase the statistical precision in control regions with higher jet-multiplicity requirements, the S(Emiss T) threshold is reduced to 4 in the leptonic control regions. Two leptonic control regions are defined for each signal region: the first (WCR) includes ab-jet veto to enhance the contribution of W+jets backgrounds, and the second (TCR) requires at least one b-jet in the event, enriching the region with the t¯ tbackground.

To simulate the effect of τ-leptons being reconstructed as jets in the signal regions, electrons and muons are also included as jets, for the purpose of the corresponding CR selection, provided that they pass the same pTand |η|requirements as the jets in the event. Finally, an upper bound on the transverse mass2computed with the lepton and Emiss Tis applied at 120 GeV in order to reduce contributions from signal processes. This variable has a kinematic endpoint at the Wboson mass for leptonically decaying on-shell Wbosons, but has no such bound when the lepton and Emiss Toriginate from different decays. The control region definitions are summarised in table 6. Additional requirements are placed on MΣ Jfor the control regions in the same manner as for the corresponding signal region selections. In the case of the single-bin selections (table 3), the same threshold is applied. For multi-bin selections, the control regions have three bins, corresponding to the same MΣ Jthresholds, as shown in table 7. The WCR and TCR are used as inputs to a fit that applies normalisation corrections to the t¯ tand W+jets background components, as described in section 6.3. 6.3 Background normalisation corrections Background estimates in the signal region are made more accurate by employing a background likelihood fit based on the control regions, using the methods described in ref.

JHEP10(2020)062 cluding the multijet, t¯ t, and W+jets processes, are corrected for mismodelling. For the other background processes, which contribute of the order of 1% of the SR yields, the nominal MC predictions are used directly. The extent to which the background prediction is compatible with the signal region observation is quantified in the form of a p-value CLb, which is the probability of an upward fluctuation of the event yield relative to the signal region prediction no larger than that observed in data, given the background model. The multijet background, while estimated using a data-driven procedure, is incorporated in the simultaneous fit due to the dependence of the template prediction on the subtraction of other backgrounds which include the simulated t¯ tand W+jets estimates. Besides correcting for any residual mismodelling, fitting the multijet component handles the correlations between the systematic uncertainties of the different background components consistently. In the case of the single-bin regions (table 3), the normalisations of the background components are allowed to vary within their nominal uncertainties, described in section 6.4. For the multi-bin analysis channels (table 2), the additional information available to the fit permits a reduction in the uncertainties, as well as a modification of the event yields to better accommodate the control region measurements. To avoid artificially constraining systematic uncertainties in the background fit due to the high statistical precision, the multijet normalisation region QCR is limited to a single bin with Nb-jet ≥0 and MΣ J≥0. For illustration, the pre-fit yields for the SR-8ij50 leptonic CRs are shown in figure 4, demonstrating the extent of the observed mismodelling in the W+jets and t¯ tnormalisation. The fitted normalisation factors are summarised for all signal selections in figure 5, and are found to be consistent across the wide range of jet multiplicities probed. Figure 6shows the background modelling in the validation regions VRNjet and VRS(Emiss T) for the SR-8ij50 multi-bin analysis. Considering uncertainties, the data yields are in agreement with the predictions after applying the background normalisation factors. Similar levels of agreement are found for the single-bin signal regions, as can be seen in figure 7. In the VRS(Emiss T), there is a tendency for the background predictions to mildly overshoot the data, at the level of 10%. This is due to residual kinematic correlations causing the S(Emiss T) distribution not to be entirely independent of the jet multiplicity. Applying flavour-tagging and jet mass selections alters these correlations. In the validation and signal regions, an uncertainty based on the largest observed non-closure at lower jet multiplicities or smaller S(Emiss T) values is applied, and is found to cover the observed discrepancies. 6.4 Systematic uncertainties Systematic uncertainties from the following sources are assessed for the predicted background yields. Experimental systematic uncertainties chiefly include uncertainties in the energy or momentum scales of reconstructed jets and leptons or the missing transverse momentum, as well as the uncertainty in the total integrated luminosity and the magnitude of pile-up corrections. Theoretical uncertainties are assessed by varying the scales (renormalisation, factorisation, resummation, shower matching) at which cross-sections are calculated or by comparison of an ensemble of matrix element and parton shower programs used to generate the predictions. Each source of theoretical uncertainty is correlated across – 18 –

Summary of the fitted normalisation factors for the t¯ t,W+jets and multijet backgrounds in all signal regions. The error bars indicate the combination of statistical and systematic uncertainties in the corresponding factors. Two pairs of SRs, namely the SR-8ij50 and SR-9ij50 multi-bin regions and the SR-10ij50-0ib-MJ500 and SR-10ij50-1ib-MJ500 single-bin regions share leptonic control regions, and therefore have highly correlated normalisation factors for the W+jets and t¯ t background components. the template and signal regions. Finally, a conservative uncertainty is assessed from the observed non-closure of the prediction in validation regions. The dominant sources of systematic uncertainty are listed in table 8. The total uncertainty in the predicted signal region yield is in the range 6–14% for the multi-bin signal regions, and 7–66% for the less constrained single-bin regions. In both cases the largest uncertainties arise in the regions with the highest requirements on the jet multiplicity (and in the single-bin case also on the b-jet multiplicity or MΣ J) since in those cases the supporting measurements are more statistically limited and so provide less precise constraints on the background predictions. In each of the three multi-bin signal regions the most important uncertainty is the closure systematic uncertainty associated with the multijet template estimate (3–6%), chiefly because of the dominance of this background component. In the single-bin signal regions the background normalisations are less constrained by the fit, and the statistical uncertainties associated with the multijet and t¯ tcontrol regions tend to dominate (4–27% for multijets, 6–14% for t¯ t). The theoretical uncertainty in the t¯ tbackground predictions is also found to be significant, with that from final-state radiation contributing up to 17% in the single-bin fits. The impact on the total yield in multi-bin signal regions is ≤5%. The Z+jets component has a theoretical uncertainty of up to 14% in the single-bin regions while it is at most 6% in the multi-bin signal regions. Most experimental systematic uncertainties affecting the reconstructed objects have insignificant impacts, being substantially reduced due to correlations between the MC- based predictions and the data-driven multijet template.

The total systematic uncertainties are shown for each of the single-bin signal regions, and also for the multi-bin signal regions, together with the three dominant contributions for each. The individual uncertainties can be (anti-)correlated, and do not necessarily sum in quadrature to the total background uncertainty. For the multi-bin signal regions the uncertainties are those found after summing the expected yields over the corresponding MΣ Jand b-jet multiplicity bins of table 2. Within the table ‘MC stat.’ indicates the statistical uncertainty of the simulated event yield in the SR, ‘MJ’ indicates the uncertainty in the multijet background, ‘closure’ indicates the uncertainty from the multijet template method closure, ‘norm’ is the result of statistical uncertainties from the CRs, ‘JES flavour’ indicates the effect of uncertainties in the jet energy scale due to differences between quark- and gluon-initiated jets, ‘Emiss Tsoft, L/T’ indicate two sources, longitudinal and transverse, of uncertainty in the soft component of the missing transverse momentum, ‘MJ HTbinning’ relates to the parameters of the binning of the multijet template in HT, ‘FSR’ indicates final-state radiation, ‘match’ indicates the matrix element/parton shower matching scale, and ‘PS’ is the uncertainty from varying the scale at which the strong coupling constant is calculated for parton shower emissions in the MC simulation. due to the uncertainties in the jet energy scale, which can have an effect of up to 3% due to the large jet activity in the events selected by this analysis, and in the soft term of the missing transverse momentum (≤10%). In the least populated SRs, there can be a large statistical uncertainty in the predictions from simulation. 7 Results and interpretation Data yields are shown graphically for all signal regions in figure 8. The background predicted to have the largest yield in all signal regions comes from multijet production. The relative contribution of the remaining backgrounds depends on the signal region. The t¯ t process generally provides the second-largest contribution, and tends to form a larger fraction of the total background for higher jet-multiplicity requirements. As the requirement on the number of b-tagged jets increases, it can be seen that the relative contributions of W+jets, Z+jets and multi-boson backgrounds decrease compared to those from t¯ tand single-top-quark production processes. A breakdown of the yields in the single-bin regions is given in table 9. For illustration, the full S(Emiss T) distributions for several signal regions are shown in figure 9. The – 23 –
JHEP10(2020)062 data yields are found to be consistent with the background predictions within the assessed statistical and systematic uncertainties, with no significant excesses over the SM expectation. Mild deviations from the SM expectation are observed, with a tendency for the background to be overestimated in the higher jet-multiplicity regions, which is consistent with the trends observed in the corresponding validation regions. For interpretation, the likelihood fits for background estimation (section 6.3) are extended to include the signal region, and thereby perform two forms of hypothesis test using a profile-likelihood-ratio test statistic [90], quantifying the significance of any observed excesses or the lack thereof. Firstly, the discovery test discriminates between the null hypothesis stating that the SR measurement is consistent with only SM contributions and an alternative hypothesis postulating a positive signal. Secondly, assuming a specific signal model, one may also form an exclusion test of the signal-plus-background hypothesis, where an observation significantly smaller than the combination of SM and SUSY processes would lead to rejection of the signal model. This provides the exclusion p-value p1, the probability of observing at most the observed event yield when assuming that the signal is present with its nominal crosssection. A complementary p-value for the background observation CLbis defined as the probability of observing at most the observed yield under the background-only hypothesis. Points in the SUSY parameter space are considered excluded if the CLsparameter [91], computed as p1/(1 −CLb) is smaller than 0.05. This protects against spurious exclusion of signals due to observing SR event counts significantly smaller than those predicted. While not strictly defining a frequentist confidence level, these are referred to as 95% confidence level (CL) limits. The impact of the particle-flow reconstruction was assessed in the single-bin signal regions by applying the same event selection but instead using calorimeter-based hadronic reconstruction. As a result of the improved jet and Emiss Tresolution, the multijet background is found to be reduced by 30–50%, corresponding to two standard deviations when considering statistical uncertainties as well as the systematic uncertainties of the jet energy scale and multijet estimate closure, resulting in an overall 20% lower total background yield in most regions. Consequently, the expected sensitivity to new physics signals is improved by up to 30% (one standard deviation), quantified in terms of the upper limit on BSM events. The single-bin signal region event yields are used to derive model-independent constraints on the production of BSM particles. Table 10 shows the observed 95% CL limits on the visible cross-section hσi95 obs as well as the observed (expected) limits on the number of BSM signal events S95 obs (S95 exp) in each signal region. The discovery p-value p(s= 0), defined as the probability of observing at least the observed event yield when assuming that no signal is present, is calculated, as is the corresponding Gaussian significance Z. For signal regions in which the predictions exceed the data, the value of p(s= 0) is capped at 0.5. The smallest background p-value CLbcomputed in any region is 0.16, while the smallest discovery p-value is 0.41, and hence all observations are compatible with the SM- only hypothesis. The most stringent limits observed are for the SR-12ij50-2ib selection, for which visible cross-sections greater than 40 ab are excluded. Constraints on sparticle production in several benchmark parameter planes are shown in figure 10. These limits extend beyond those achieved by the previous search [16]. All – 24 –
