Results are presented of a search for a "natural" supersymmetry scenario with gauge mediated symmetry breaking. It is assumed that only the supersymmetric partners of the top quark (the top squark) and the Higgs boson (Higgsino) are accessible. Events are examined in which there are two photons forming a Higgs boson candidate, and at least two b-quark jets. In 19.7 fb-1 of proton-proton collision data at s=8 TeV, recorded in the CMS experiment, no evidence of a signal is found and lower limits at the 95% confidence level are set, excluding the top squark mass below 360 to 410 GeV, depending on the Higgsino mass.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on detecting multijet signatures from proton-proton collisions at a high energy of 13 TeV, analyzing a dataset totaling 128 fb^{-1}.
- A special data scouting method is utilized to pick out events with low combined momentum in jets.
- This research is pioneering in its investigation of electroweak particle production in R-parity violating supersymmetric models, particularly examining hadronically decaying mass-degenerate higgsinos, and it broadens the limits on the existence of R-parity violating top squarks and gluinos.

We discuss the possibility that light new physics in the top-quark sample at the LHC can be found by investigating with greater care well-known kinematic distributions, such as the invariant mass m_{bℓ} of the b-jet and the charged lepton in fully leptonic tt[over ¯] events. We demonstrate that new physics can be probed in the rising part of the already measured m_{bℓ} distribution. To this end, we analyze a concrete supersymmetric scenario with a light right-handed top-squark, chargino and neutralino.

A combination of searches for top squark pair production using proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 at the CERN LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137 collected by the CMS experiment, is presented. Signatures with at least 2 jets and large missing transverse momentum are categorized into events with 0, 1, or 2 leptons. New results for regions of parameter space where the kinematical properties of top squark pair production and top quark pair production are very similar are presented.

A search is presented for supersymmetric partners of the top quark (top squarks) in final states with two oppositely charged leptons (electrons or muons), jets identified as originating from quarks, and missing transverse momentum. The search uses data from proton-proton collisions at collected with the CMS detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137 . Hypothetical signal events are efficiently separated from the dominant top quark pair production background with requirements on the significance of the missing transverse momentum and on transverse mass variables.

In a supersymmetric theory, the IR contributions to the Higgs mass are calculable below the mediation scale Λ_{UV} in terms of the IR field content and parameters. However, logarithmic sensitivity to physics at Λ_{UV} remains. In this Letter, we present a first example of a framework, dictated by symmetries, to supersoften these logarithms from the matter sector.
