Description

Meeting's topics:

from the MSSM to simplified models and back
sub-TeV stops and light EW-inos
difficult spectra (e.g. gluinos below 700 GeV missed by current searches)
recommendations for presenting LHC results
discussion of the working group report.

This meeting is a joint event with the workshop "Characterization of new physics at the LHC"

WG2 Conveners: J.Hewett, S.Kraml, R.Cavanaugh (CMS), G.Polesello (ATLAS)
"Characterization" Workshop conveners: P.DeJong (ATLAS), C.Issever (ATLAS), S.Padhi (CMS), F.Ratnikov (CMS), P.Schuster, N.Toro.
