We introduce SuperLFV, a numerical tool for calculating low-energy observables that exhibit charged lepton flavor violation (LFV) in the context of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). As the Large Hadron Collider and MEG, a dedicated mu -> e gamma experiment, are presently analyzing or acquiring data, there is need for tools that provide rapid discrimination of models that...

A lot of effort is and will be put in the search for supersymmetric particles at the LHC. For the interpretation of the experimental data
precise theoretical predictions are crucial. The work presented in the talk contributes to this effort by providing NLO corrections to
the pair production of squarks of the first two generations in a flexible partonic Monte Carlo program. In contrast to...

The search for supersymmetry is an important part of the LHC physics program. For these searches, precise predictions are needed and including parton showers can improve these predictions. Squark pair production at NLO matched to a parton shower using the POWHEG Box will be presented.

Despite the absence of experimental evidence, weak scale supersymmetry remains one of the best motivated and studied Standard Model extensions. This talk summarises recent ATLAS results on inclusive searches for supersymmetric squarks and gluinos in events containing jets, missing transverse momentum with and without light leptons, taus or photons.

In supersymmetric models with light higgsinos (which are motivated by electroweak naturalness arguments), the direct production of higgsino pairs may be difficult to search for at LHC due to the low visible energy release from their decays. However, the wino pair production reaction also occurs at substantial rates and leads to final states including equally opposite-sign (OS) and same-sign...

Many supersymmetry models feature neutralinos, charginos and also sleptons with masses less than a few hundred GeV. These can 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 results from searches for neutralinos, charginos and slepton pair production in final states with leptons.

While SUSY is becoming more constrained by recent data from the LHC, there is still hope for SUSY in light stop scenarios. The Minimal composite Supersymmetric Standard Model is one such scenario. We examine the potential for discovery of such models at the LHC using a set of benchmark spectra associated with UV complete models within the McSSM.

Recent measurements of the WW cross section by ATLAS and CMS are slightly above SM expectations, leaving the possibility for BSM electroweak states to contribute to the measurements. We show how light sleptons with bino dark matter can account for the WW measurment as well as muon g-2 while achieving the correct dark matter relic density.
