| contents | The ATLAS and CMS collaborations have recently presented results of searches for compressed electroweakinos in final states including soft leptons. These searches are sensitive to mass splittings ranging from quite small values of about 5 GeV to O(10) GeV, which are endemic to scenarios with wino-like and higgsino-like lightest supersymmetric particles (LSPs). While all experimental results exhibit apparently compatible mild excesses, these soft-lepton analyses, taken together with disappearing-track searches targeting much smaller splittings, notably leave unconstrained a sizeable region of parameter space with modest splittings of 1-5 GeV. We point out that this gap can be closed, for scenarios with a higgsino-like LSP, by monojet searches. On the other hand, we find at the same time that current monojet searches show excesses in a region partially overlapping that favoured by the soft-lepton analyses. We provide an up-to-date map of these results and show, among others, a best-fit point with an excess greater than $2σ$ that is consistent with a higgsino-like LSP mass around 177 GeV. We finally comment on how such a point can be realised in the MSSM. |
