Search for dark matter and supersymmetry in the vector boson fusion topology in proton-proton collisions at CMS

A search for pair production of dark matter candidates and supersymmetry production (SUSY) with two jets in vector-boson fusion (VBF) topology is presented using data collected by the CMS detector in proton-proton collisions at the LHC. Final states with no leptons are expected in pair production of dark matter particles or scalar quarks in SUSY compressed mass-spectra scenarios. Final states with low-energy leptons are expected in the production of charginos and neutralinos in SUSY compressed mass-spectra scenarios. Results for both zero and two lepton final states at 8 TeV are presented with brief prospects at 13 TeV.
