Descripción
A first search for pair production of dark matter candidates through
vector boson fusion in proton-proton collisions at √{s }=8 TeV is
performed with the CMS detector. The vector boson fusion topology
enhances missing transverse momentum, providing a way to probe
supersymmetry, even in the case of a compressed mass spectrum. The data
sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 18.5 fb-1 ,
recorded by the CMS experiment. The observed dijet mass spectrum is
consistent with the standard model expectation. In an effective field
theory, dark matter masses are explored as a function of contact
interaction strength. The most stringent limit on bottom squark
production with mass below 315 GeV is also reported, assuming a 5 GeV
mass difference with respect to the lightest neutralino.
