Description
A search for new phenomena is performed in final states containing one
or more jets and an imbalance in transverse momentum in pp collisions at
a centre-of-mass energy of 13 {TeV}. The analysed data sample, recorded
with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC, corresponds to an integrated
luminosity of 2.3 {fb}^{-1}. Several kinematic variables are employed to
suppress the dominant background, multijet production, as well as to
discriminate between other standard model and new physics processes. The
search provides sensitivity to a broad range of new-physics models that
yield a stable weakly interacting massive particle. The number of
observed candidate events is found to agree with the expected
contributions from standard model processes, and the result is
interpreted in the mass parameter space of fourteen simplified
supersymmetric models that assume the pair production of gluinos or
squarks and a range of decay modes. For models that assume gluino pair
production, masses up to 1575 and 975 {GeV} are excluded for gluinos and
neutralinos, respectively. For models involving the pair production of
top squarks and compressed mass spectra, top squark masses up to 400
{GeV} are excluded.
