After the first run of LHC, the parameter space of supersymmetric theories is under serious pressure. In this talk I will present attempts at natural SUSY model building and also discuss the consequences of relaxing the naturalness assumption of supersymmetric theories.

Supersymmetry is one of the most motivated theories beyond the Standard Model of particle physics.
It explains the mass of the observed Higgs boson and provides a Dark Matter candidate among other attractive features.
A striking prediction of Supersymmetry is the existence of a new particle for each Standard Model one.
I will highlight results of the extensive program of the ATLAS...

Searches for vector-like quarks are motivated by Composite Higgs models assuming a new strong sector and predict the existence of new heavy resonances. A search for single production of vector-like quarks is performed for the through the exchange of a heavy gluon in the $p p \to G^* \to B\bar b/\bar B b \to H b \bar b \to b~\bar b~b~\bar b$ process, where $G^*$ is a heavy color octet vector...

It is not known how to explain the excess of matter over antimatter with the Standard Model. This matter asymmetry can be accounted for in certain extensions of the Standard Model through the mechanism of electroweak baryogenesis (EWBG), in which the extra baryons are created in the early Universe during the electroweak phase transition. In this talk I will review EWBG, connect it to...
