Introduction\[sec:prd-intro\]
=============================

Extensions of the standard model (SM) with softly broken supersymmetry (SUSY) [@Ramond; @Golfand; @Volkov; @Wess; @Fayet] predict new fundamental particles that are superpartners of the SM particles. Under the assumption of $R$-parity [@bib-rparity] conservation, searches for SUSY particles at the fermilab Tevatron [@:2007ww; @Aaltonen:2008rv] and the CERN LHC [@Collaboration:2011xk; @daCosta:2011qk; @Aad:2011hh; @Aad:2011xm; @RA2; @alphaT; @:2011wb; @Chatrchyan:2011bz; @Chatrchyan:2012qka; @Chatrchyan:2012mea; @:2012th; @:2012jx; @ATLAS:2012ai; @ATLAS:2012ag; @Aad:2012rt; @:2012cwa; @Aad:2012cz] have focused on event signatures with energetic hadronic jets and leptons from the decays of pair-produced squarks $\PSq$ and gluinos $\PSg$. Such events frequently have large missing transverse energy () resulting from the stable weakly interacting superpartners, one of which is produced in each of the two decay chains.

In this paper, we present the detailed methodology of an inclusive search for SUSY based on the razor kinematic variables [@razor2010; @rogan]. A summary of the results of this search, based on 4.7of $\Pp\Pp$ collision data at $\sqrt{s} =
7$collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, can be found in Ref.
