Description
The Large Hadron Collider with its unprecedented centre-of-mass energy will provide a unique opportunity to search for new physics Beyond the Standard Model. In this talk, I will describe search strategies for Supersymmetry in tri-lepton final states with early data of up to 10 inverse femtobarn. Using Monte Carlo simulations and a full ATLAS detector simulation I investigate the discovery potential with this final state for several benchmark points in the minimal Supergravity parameter space. A particular focus will be placed on the difficult scenario where strong interacting supersymmetric particles are very heavy (~ 3 TeV), as in such case the tri-lepton final states are likely to provide the best discovery potential. I will also address possible strategies to determine background contributions relevant for this final state from data.
