Data-driven estimations of Standard Model backgrounds to SUSY searches in ATLAS

  • 1. Max-Planck-Institut fuer Physik, Muenchen (Germany)

Description

At the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the strategy for the observation of supersymmetry in the early days is mainly based on inclusive searches. Major backgrounds are constituted by mismeasured multi-jet events and W, Z and t quark production in association with jets. We describe recent work performed in the ATLAS Collaboration to derive these backgrounds from the first ATLAS data.
