Talk in Parallel Session at DIS2013 Electroweak Physics and Beyond the Standard Model WG3: Electroweak and Searches

Speaker

Priscilla Pani (NIKHEF (NL))

Description

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. Top or bottom squarks with masses less than a few hundred GeV can also give rise to direct pair production rates at the LHC that can be observed in the data sample recorded by the ATLAS detector. The talk presents recent ATLAS results from searches for direct stop and sbottom pair production.
