Abstract:
A search for three-jet hadronic resonance production in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of7 TeV has been conducted by the CMS Collaboration at the LHC, using a data sample corresponding to anintegrated luminosity of 35 pb_1. Events with high jet multiplicity and a large scalar sum of jet transversemomenta are analyzed using a signature-based approach. The number of expected standard modelbackground events is found to be in good agreement with the observed events. Limits on the crosssection times branching ratio are set in a model of gluino pair production with an R-parity-violating decayto three quarks, and the data rule out such particles within the mass range of 200 to 280 GeV=c2.
