dc.description.abstractResults are presented from a search for super symmetric particles in scenarios with small mass splittings. The data sample corresponds to 19.7 fb(-1) of proton-proton collisions recorded by the CMS experiment at root s = 8 TeV. The search targets top squark ((t) over tilde) pair production in scenarios with mass differences Delta m = m((t) over tilde) - m((chi) over tilde (0)(1)) below the W-boson mass and with top-squark decays in the four-body mode ((t) over tilde -> bl nu(chi) over tilde (0)(1)), where the neutralino ((chi) over tilde (0)(1)) is assumed to be the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP). The signature includes a high transverse momentum (p(T)) jet associated with initial-state radiation, one or two low-p(T) leptons, and significant missing transverse energy. The event yields observed in data are consistent with the expected background contributions from standard model processes. Limits are set on the cross section for top squark pair production as a function of the (t) over tilde t and LSP masses. Assuming a 100% branching fraction for the four-body decay mode, top-squark masses below 316 GeV are excluded for Delta m = 25 GeV at 95% CL. The dilepton data are also interpreted under the assumption of chargino-neutralino production, with subsequent decays to sleptons or sneutrinos. Assuming a difference between the common ($) over tilde (+)(1)/(chi) over tilde (0)(2) mass and the LSP mass of 20 GeV and a tau-enriched decay scenario, masses in the range m((chi) over tilde (+)(1)) < 307 GeV are excluded at 95% CL.
