The search for Supersymmetry in LHC proton-proton collisions with the ATLAS detector will be summarized. In particular, recent searches for gluinos, squarks (including top and bottom squarks), weakly-produced superpartners, R-parity violating SUSY and long-lived signatures will be presented.

Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
I discuss the theoretical motivations for weak-scale supersymmetry, including the gauge hierarchy problem, grand unification, and WIMP dark matter, and their implications for superpartner masses. These are re-assessed against the leading constraints on supersymmetry from collider searches, the Higgs boson mass, and low-energy constraints on flavor and CP violation. I also summarize attempts to...

We present searches targeting electroweak production of supersymmetric particles in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider with the Run1 data collected by the ATLAS detector.
We review the limits on the masses of these supersymmetric particles and their production cross-section in the context of simplified models and the phenomenological Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model.

The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics provides a theoretical framework to understand fundamental particle interactions. Despite its extraordinary success, the SM leaves a number of open questions: What is the nature of Dark Matter? Why is the SM Higgs boson so light? Supersymmetry (SUSY) is an extension of the SM of particle physics which predicts a super-partner for each of the SM...
