Search for supersymmetry with jets, missing transverse momentum and at least one hadronically decaying τ lepton in proton–proton collisions at √s = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector

Abstract

A search for production of supersymmetric particles in final states containing jets, missing transverse momentum, and at least one hadronically decaying τ lepton is presented. The data were recorded by the ATLAS experiment in √s = 7 TeV proton–proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. No excess above the Standard Model background expectation was observed in 2.05 fb^(-1) of data. The results are interpreted in the context of gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking models with M_(mess)=250 TeV, N_5=3, μ>0, and C_(grav)=1. The production of supersymmetric particles is excluded at 95% C.L. up to a supersymmetry breaking scale Λ=30 TeV, independent of tan β, and up to Λ=43 TeV for large tan β.
