The LHC has not found supersymmetry in the first 1/fb at 7 TeV.
I will discuss where supersymmetry stands after these null results, and I
will suggest promising places to look for it. The main motivation to find
supersymmetry at the LHC is naturalness. Naturalness constrains the
higgsinos, stops, and gluino to be light, but allows the rest of the
superpartners to be heavy, including squarks of the first two generations.
I will show how the 1/fb supersymmetry searches constrain natural
supersymmetry by reinterpreting the experimental results. During the
second part of the talk, I will introduce stealth supersymmetry: a new
class of models that preserve R-parity but lack missing energy signatures.
Stealth supersymmetry would be missed by regular SUSY searches, but can be
discovered by looking for events with two photons and a large amount of jet
HT, photon-jet-jet or 3b triple resonances, and displaced vertices.
