Searches for direct production of third generation squarks at CMS

Searches for direct pair production of the third generation squarks (the supersymmetric partners of the top and bottom quarks) are presented, based on proton-proton collision data recorded by the CMS experiment during the LHC Run2 operations (2016-2018). These searches are performed in final states with one single lepton (electron or muon), a pair of tau leptons, or zero lepton. In absence of statistically significant deviations from the standard model background, the results are interpreted in the context of several decay modes of top squarks and for one decay mode of the bottom squarks.
