Abstract
This Letter presents a search for direct production of charginos and neutralinos via electroweak
interactions. The results are based on data from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy
of 13 TeV collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity
of 137 fb−1. The search considers final states with large missing transverse momentum and pairs of
hadronically decaying bosons WW, WZ, and WH, where H is the Higgs boson. These bosons are identified
using novel algorithms. No significant excess of events is observed relative to the expectations from
the standard model. Limits at the 95% confidence level are placed on the cross section for production
of mass-degenerate wino-like supersymmetric particles χ±
