The discovery of the Standard Model (SM)-like Higgs boson is a great success of particle physics over the past 50 years. The existence of a light Higgs boson provides strong indications for new physics beyond the SM. In this project, we study the supersymmetric partner of the top quark, namely stop, which is the most relevant supersymmetric particles to the Higgs sector given its strong...

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...

In this talk, the latest results from CMS on inclusive searches for squark and gluino production at the LHC are reviewed. A variety of complementary final state signatures and methods are presented using 20/fb of data from the 8 TeV LHC run.

In this talk, the latest results from CMS on searches for stop and sbottom squarks are presented. Searches for direct squark production and indirect production through gluino cascades in a variety of decay channels are reviewed. The results are based on 20/fb of data collected during the 8 TeV LHC run.

The uncertainty of top pair production cross section measurement at LHC is at a few percent level, which still allows the stop pair production with identical final states 2b+l+nj+$E_T$. On the other hand, the prompt decay of top quark before hadronization provides opportunity to make its precision measurement possible. In this talk, we apply the ATLAS $χ^2$ method of W-polarization measurement...

We present the latest results in the searches for the supersymmetric partners of quarks and gluons obtained by the ATLAS collaboration, using 20.3 fb$^{-1}$ of pp collisions data at $\sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV collected in 2012.

In the existence of a slightly broken U(1) symmetry, two (2-component) Weyl spinor parts of a Dirac fermion is split by a small Majorana mass. These fermions are called pseudo-Dirac fermions. The mass splitting gives rise to oscillations between the charge eigenstates, much like neutral meson oscillations. Previously, these oscillations have been considered in mesino - anti-mesino systems....

Many supersymmetry models feature gauginos 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 gaugino and slepton pair production in final states with leptons.
