Abstract
The analyzed event samples are taken from the CMS pp collision data recorded in 2012. The data corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb−1 [1] at \(\sqrt{s} = 8\,\text{TeV}\). The analysis is performed in two channels, the eγ channel, where events are selected if at least one photon and one electron are present, and the μγ channel, where a muon instead of an electron is required in addition to the photon. In both channels, an excess beyond the SM prediction of events with large E T miss is searched for.
