Acceptance and efficiency for a representative set of pair-produced gluino signal samples. The mass of the gluino ($m(\tilde{g})$), its lifetime ($\tau(\tilde{g})$) and the mass of the neutralino ($m(\tilde{\chi}^{0})$) are given in the first three columns. The Pythia 6.4.27 signal samples shown in this table are not reweighted to match the transverse momentum of the gluino-gluino system as simulated by MadGraph5_aMC@NLO. The acceptance is defined as the fraction of events passing a loose set of fiducial requirements. The full simulation efficiency (Full sim. $\epsilon$) is defined as the ratio of the number of reconstructed events, as expected by the full ATLAS simulation, and the number of events passing the fiducial requirements. The parameterised simulation efficiency (Param. sim. $\epsilon$) is defined as the ratio of the number of events estimated using a set of parametrised efficiencies (see auxiliary Figures 9,10,11,12) and the number of events passing the fiducial requirements alone.

Summary of a simplified binning scheme comprising $H_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{miss}}$ shapes for eight representative event topologies, defined in terms of requirements on $n_{\mathrm{jet}}$ both symmetric and asymmetric categories) and $n_{\mathrm{b}}$. For each topology, event yields are integrated over the full $H_{\mathrm{T}}$ range, $H_{\mathrm{T}} > 200$ GeV, and are categorised according to eight bins in $H_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{miss}}$ -- $130 < H_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{miss}} < 200$ GeV, six bins 100 GeV wide in the region $200 < H_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{miss}} < 800$ GeV, and an open final bin, $H_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{miss}} > 800$ GeV. This categorisation scheme leads to 64 bins that are exclusive, contiguous, and provide complete coverage of the signal region. The corresponding SM background estimates for these 64 bins are obtained using the nominal likelihood model. The $H_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{miss}}$ template for each topology is determined from simulation and the normalisation for each template is given by an aggregate of estimates from several ($n_{\mathrm{jet}}$, $n_{\mathrm{b}}$, $H_{\mathrm{T}}$) bins, defined according to the nominal binning scheme.

Observed data yields and "CR-only fit" SM background expectations using the simplified binning scheme, as a function of topology and $H_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{miss}}$. The SM backgrounds are determined from a simultaneous fit to data in the control regions. The data yields in the signal region are masked and excluded from the fit. The uncertainties include statistical as well as systematic contributions.

Expected ($\mu_{\mathrm{exp}}$) and observed ($\mu_{\mathrm{obs}}$) upper limits on the production cross section, expressed in terms of the signal strength parameter, obtained using both the nominal and simplified binning schema. Comparable values are obtained from the two schema for these benchmark SUSY models because the signal events typically populate bins at high values of $H_{\mathrm{T}}$ and $H_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{miss}}$ and so are at or near the limit of the search sensitivity. Larger differences in $\mu$ can be observed for models that populate the core of these distributions.

Expected and observed 95% CL cross section exclusion contours for top squark pair production in the plane of top squark lifetime ($c\tau$) and top squark mass. These limits assume a branching fraction of 100\% through the RPV vertex $\tilde{t}$ $\to$ b l, where the branching fraction to any lepton flavor is equal to 1/3. As indicated in the plot, the region to the left of the contours is excluded by this search.
