Squark and Gluino Reconstruction with the CMS Detector

The capability of the CMS detector to reconstruct squarks and gluinos is investigated. A method to reconstruct sbottom, light squark and gluino mass peaks has been developed and applied in three different mSUGRA scenarios. With favourable parameters, a resolution better than 10% can be achieved for all the reconstructed sparticles already with 10 fb -1 of integrated luminosity under the assumption of a known mass for the lightest neutralino.
