Description
Searches for supersymmetric models with a compressed mass spectrum are presented using data samples corresponding to integrated luminosities of 19.4–19.7 fb$^{-1}$, collected at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC. This class of model is challenging to detect experimentally, primarily due to low-momentum SM particles arising from decay chains involving SUSY particles of comparable mass. Various searches that are optimised for compressed-spectrum models are presented.
