Abstract

We discuss an inclusive analysis strategy for SUSY searches in pp collisions at root s = 14 TeV with the CMS detector, where the missing transverse energy plus multijets canonical signature is used. Emphasis is put on methods to normalize the backgrounds using the data and on understanding the experimental systematic uncertainties. A 5 sigma excess can be observed with O(pb(-1)) at a particular low mass SUSY point. The 5 sigma, discovery reach contours in the mSUGRA parameter space for 1 and 10 fb(-1) are obtained.
