Abstract

We examine scenarios in the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM), where pair-produced squarks and gluinos decay via two cascades, each ending in a stable neutralino as Lightest Supersymmetric Particle (LSP) and a Standard Model (SM)-like Higgs boson, with mass spectra such that the missing transverse energy, E_T ^miss, is very low. Performing two-dimensional parameter scans and focusing on the hadronic H→ bb¯ decay giving a bb¯bb¯+ETmiss final state we explore the sensitivity of a current LHC general-purpose jets + E_T ^miss analysis to such scenarios.
