Search for direct production of charginos and neutralinos in events with three leptons and missing transverse momentum in 21 fb⁻¹of pp collisions at √(<i>s</i>) = 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector

A search for direct chargino and neutralino production processes is presented in a final state with exactly 3 leptons (electrons or muons). No excess over the Standard Model has been observed. The analysis presented is based on 20.7 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data delivered by the LHC at √(s) = 8 TeV and recorded by the ATLAS [2] detector in 2012. [1]
