We present the analysis of the signature jj+missing-ET(+X) via squark-squark production and direct decay into the lightest neutralino in next-to-leading order QCD within the framework of the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model. We provide a consistent, fully differential calculation of NLO QCD factorizable corrections to the given processes with on-shell squarks. Clustering final states...

We present a next-to-leading order calculation for the production of gluino pairs near threshold at the LHC. We show that threshold effects lead to a characteristic shape of the differential cross section around threshold and an increase of the total cross section.

Despite the absence of experimental evidence, weak scale supersymmetry remains one of the best motivated and studied Standard Model extensions. This talk summarises recent results on inclusive searches for supersymmetric squarks and gluinos in events containing jets, missing transverse momentum with or without leptons. The searches use the full data sample recorded in 2011 at sqrt(s)=7 TeV...

We present results of searches for SUSY production at CMS in events containing hadronic jets and missing energy. Various discriminants based on the event kinematics are employed to suppress standard-model backgrounds. The results are interpreted in the context of the Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, and of a number of "simplified models".

We search for evidence of Supersymmetry in events with a single lepton, multijets and missing energy. The search is done with proton-proton collision data collected by the CMS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The backgrounds, which are primarily from W+jet and top quark production, are predicted with control samples in the data. The results are interpreted in terms of the...

We present results of searches for SUSY production at CMS in events with multiple lepton production. These include final states with Z bosons decaying to lepton pairs, non-resonant same- and opposite-sign lepton pairs, and three or more isolated leptons. The results are used to exclude previously unexplored regions of the supersymmetric parameter space assuming R-parity conservation with the...

Naturalness arguments for weak-scale supersymmetry favour supersymmetric partners of the third generation quarks with masses not too far from those of their Standard Model counterparts. Scalar top or bottom quarks with masses less than a few hundred GeV can give rise to direct pair production rates at the LHC that can be observed in the data sample recorded by the ATLAS detector.

We present results of searches for SUSY production at CMS in events with third-generation signatures. Along with missing energy, the final states may include hadronic jets with or without b-quark tag, light leptons, and tau leptons. These features serve both to distinguish standard-model components, and for sensitivity to those SUSY models that lead to final states rich in heavy-flavored particles.

Models with gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking predict that the lightest supersymmetric particle is a gravitino with negligible mass so that the phenomenology of the supersymmetric events produced at the LHC is determined by the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP). Depending on the model parameters, the NLSP can be a neutralino with significant bino admixture that will decay...

The "razor" at the LHC refers to a set of kinematical variables used to discriminate heavy new physics against standard model processes. The empirical modeling of the variables and their correlation leads to good sensitivity to new physics. In this talk we present some of the latest results obtained with the razor technique in CMS, ranging from SUSY to more exotic searches.

The direct searches for Superymmetry can be complemented by direct searches for dark matter, if one assumes the Lightest Supersymmetric Particle (LSP) provides the dark matter of the universe. It is shown that within the CMSSM the direct searches are more sensitive than the direct LHC searches for large values of the squark masses, even if one considers the uncertainties from the local relic...

The implications of a discovery, or a non-discovery, of the lightest Higgs boson will be discussed in terms of constrained and general MSSM scenarios. Exploring the MSSM through the Higgs sector is an alternative and complementary path to direct searches, and tight constraints on the parameter space can be obtained. Such constraints will be discussed in addition to, very briefly, the interplay...

We discuss the phenomenology of light scalar tops (stops) in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). We analyse the discovery potential of stops in the co--annihilation regionย at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).ย The bino-like neutralino is the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) and the lighter stop is the next-to-LSP. Such scenarios can be consistent with electroweak baryogenesis...

Very precise measurements of masses and cross sections are expected to be achievable with a future linear collider. With such an accuracy one is even sensitive to quantum correction, which therefore must be incorporated in order to make meaningful predictions for the underlying new physics parameters.
