We present the implementation in MadAnalysis 5 of the ATLAS-SUSY-2018-32 search for new physics and document the validation of this re-implementation. This analysis targets, with 139 fb[Formula: see text] of proton–proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector, the electroweak pair production of supersymmetric charginos and sleptons when they further decay into a final state comprising a pair of leptons and missing energy. The validation of our work is based on three [Formula: see text]-parity conserving supersymmetric benchmark setups that feature, respectively, chargino pair-production followed by decays into leptons via an intermediate weak boson, chargino pair-production followed by chargino cascade decays into leptons through a slepton mediator, and slepton pair-production followed by slepton direct decays into leptons.

We present the implementation, in the MadAnalysis 5 framework, of the ATLAS-SUSY-2018-31 search for new physics, and document the validation of this implementation. This analysis targets, with 139 fb[Formula: see text] of proton–proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector between 2015 and 2018, the production of a pair of supersymmetric bottom squarks when they further decay through a cascade decay involving the second lightest neutralino and a Standard Model Higgs boson. The validation of our work is based on three benchmark scenarios targeting different kinematic configurations. The first of them considers a new physics spectrum leading to the presence of high-[Formula: see text] [Formula: see text]-jets originating from sbottom decays, whereas the last two, that differ by the neutralino mass spectrum, are dedicated to the compressed regime and thus yield the presence of soft [Formula: see text]-jets in the final state. We obtain an agreement between the MadAnalysis 5 predictions and the official ATLAS results at the level of 20–30%, the largest discrepancies being related to cases exhibiting a poor Monte Carlo numerical precision at the level of the official ATLAS results.

We present an implementation of the CMS-EXO-17-015 analysis in the MadAnalysis 5 framework. The analysis targets a search for dark matter in a channel in which it originates from the production and decay of a pair of scalar leptoquarks. This search considers a luminosity [Formula: see text] of CMS data collected in 2016 and 2017, in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The final state signature is comprised of one isolated highly-energetic muon, one jet with a large transverse momentum and a significant amount of missing transverse energy. We validate our implementation in MadAnalysis 5 for a specific leptoquark/dark matter benchmark scenario. In particular, we compare predictions obtained with MadAnalysis 5 with the official CMS results for various kinematical distributions relevant for the CMS-EXO-17-015 analysis, as well as detailed cut-flow tables. We have found an excellent agreement.

We analyze relevant signals expected at the LHC for a left sneutrino as the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP). The discussion is carried out in the “[Formula: see text] from [Formula: see text]” supersymmetric standard model [Formula: see text], where the presence of [Formula: see text]-parity breaking couplings involving right-handed neutrinos solves the [Formula: see text] problem and reproduces neutrino data. The sneutrinos are pair produced via a virtual [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] in the [Formula: see text] channel. From the prompt decay of a pair of left sneutrinos LSPs of any family, a significant diphoton signal plus missing transverse energy (MET) from neutrinos can be present in the mass range 118–132 GeV, with 13 TeV center-of-mass energy and an integrated luminosity of 100 fb[Formula: see text]. In addition, in the case of a pair of tau left sneutrinos LSPs, given the large value of the tau Yukawa coupling diphoton plus leptons and/or multileptons can appear. We find that the number of expected events for the multilepton signal, together with properly adopted search strategies, is sufficient to give a significant evidence for a sneutrino of mass in the range 130–310 GeV, even with the integrated luminosity of 20 fb[Formula: see text]. In the case of the signal producing diphoton plus leptons, an integrated luminosity of 100 fb[Formula: see text] is needed to give a significant evidence in the mass range 95–145 GeV. Finally, we discuss briefly the presence of displaced vertices and the associated range of masses.
