ABSTRACT:
The search for new physics in hadronic final states is particularly challenging in a jet-enriched environment as the LHC. Nevertheless, the study of multijet final states provided stringent bounds on many extensions of the Standard Model. We review a set of these searches targeting SUSY and exotic models of new physics, performed on the data collected by the CMS experiment at sqrt(s)= 8 TeV. In particular, we show how the use of new techniques, e.g., razor kinematic variables and jet substructure, has enriched the sensitivity of the LHC to new physics signatures.
