The expected and observed 95% CL upper limits on the production cross section for SIMPs with masses between 1 and 1000 GeV, with the assumption that the SIMP interaction in the detector can be approximated as neutron-like.

For masses above 100 GeV, where the modelling of the SIMP-nucleon interaction becomes more speculative, the obtained cross section upper limits are increasingly uncertain (shaded area).

Number of events in the pTmiss CR, transfer factor, background prediction, and observed yield in each of the six pTmiss bins. The systematic uncertainties in the background prediction include the shape uncertainties in addition to the uncertainty in T. Also listed in the last column is the number of expected signal events and corresponding statistical uncertainties for one example mass point, m(GLUINO) = 1700 GeV. The last pTmiss bin includes overflows.
