Abstract

Searches for the direct electroweak production of supersymmetric charginos, neutrali- nos, and sleptons in a variety of signatures with leptons and W, Z, and Higgs bosons are presented. Results are based on a sample of proton-proton collision data collected at center-of-mass energy √s = 8 TeV with the CMS detector in 2012, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.5 fb−1. The observed event rates are in agreement with expectations from the standard model. These results probe charginos and neutrali- nos with masses up to 720 GeV, and sleptons up to 260 GeV, depending on the model details.
