The present theoretical framework to describe the universe in particle level, the Standard Model describes only 4% of the matter-energy budget of the universe. There are many theories which attempt to describe the universe beyond the scope of the Standard Model. This dissertation describes a search for supersymmetry, a beyond Standard Model theory, using data collected by the Compact Muon Solenoid detector with integrated luminosity of 2.3 fb⁻¹ at a center of mass energy of 13 TeV during 2015. The data were produced in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland. This search was performed with events having two photons and missing transverse energy in the final state. This final state was motivated by general gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking, one of the theories on how breaking of supersymmetry can be mediated. No significant excess over the expected background was observed. The result was interpreted with simplified model scans and 95% upper limit on production cross sections are provided.
A Dissertation submitted to the Department of Physics in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
