Constraints on the gluino mass-vs-lifetime plane for a split-supersymmetry model with the gluino R-hadron decaying into a gluon or light quarks and a neutralino with mass of 100 GeV. The solid lines indicate the observed limits, while the dashed lines indicate the expected limits. The area below the curves is excluded. For the displaced vertices result the expected and observed limits are identical. For the stopped gluino result the limit extends to larger lifetimes (not quoted here, see reference). The analyses have sensitivity at lifetimes other than those shown, but only the limits at tested lifetimes are shown. The dots represent results for which the particle is assumed to be prompt or stable. In this context, stable means escaping the detector.

Constraints on the chargino mass-vs-lifetime plane for an AMSB model with tan(β)=5 and μ>0. The wino-like chargino is pair-produced and decays to the wino-like neutralino and a very soft charged pion. The solid lines indicate the observed limits, while the dashed lines indicate the expected limits. The area below the curves is excluded. The analyses have sensitivity at lifetimes other than those shown, but only the limits at tested lifetimes are shown. The dots represent results for which the particle is assumed to be stable. In this context, stable means escaping the detector. Status of figure: March 2019 png 150kB, pdf 22kB This and previous plot versions

Each vertical bar is a 1D projection of the fraction of model points excluded, with colour coding representing the fraction of model points excluded for each sparticle. One interesting feature can be seen in the case of the $\tilde{\chi}_1^\pm$ where the fraction of model points decreases to almost 0 at 1 TeV and then increases again at around 1.5 TeV. This is because the chargino mass is correlated with the neutralino mass in the case of the wino and Higgsino model points and so a heavy $\tilde{\chi}_1^\pm$ means a heavy LSP. The decrease in sensitivity to the chargino around 1 TeV is an artefact of weighting the bino model points by a factor of 1/24, because in bins around this region there are relatively few bino-LSP model points and so their contribution to the fraction of model points excluded is negligible. As the chargino mass increases, there are fewer model points with wino or Higgsino models and so the fraction of model points excluded is then only representative of the bino-LSP models. png 69kB, pdf 18kB This and previous plot versions
Exclusion limits for colour-neutral ttbar/bbbar+a pseudoscalar models as a function of the mediator mass for a dark matter mass of 1 GeV. The limits are calculated at 95% CL and are expressed in terms of the ratio of the excluded cross-section to the nominal cross-section for a coupling assumption of g = g_q = g_chi = 1. The solid (dashed) lines show the observed (expected) exclusion limits for different analyses. Status of figure: December 2016 png 23kB, pdf 14kB This and previous plot versions
Exclusion limits at 95% CL based on 13 TeV data in the (gluino, lightest neutralino) mass plane for different simplified models featuring the decay of the gluino to the lightest supersymmetric particle (lightest neutralino) which in turn decays via R-parity violating couplings to Standard Model particles. For each line, the gluino decay mode is reported in the legend and it is assumed to proceed with 100% branching ratio. Some limits depend on additional assumptions, as described in the references provided in the plot. Status of figure: July 2019 png 254kB, pdf 69kB This and previous plot versions

Exclusion limits at 95% CL in the (lightest sbottom, lightest neutralino) mass plane for direct sbottom production. The lightest neutralino (χ⁰₁) is assumed to be the lightest SUSY particle (LSP). Two different decay scenarios are shown, covering different relative rates of the decays of b₁ → b χ⁰₁ and b₁ → t χ^±₁. In the latter case, the lightest chargino (χ^±₁) is assumed to be the next-to-LSP, with a mass almost degenerate with the LSP.

Summary of the dedicated ATLAS searches for top squark (stop) pair production based on 13 fb⁻¹ of pp collision data taken at √s = 13 TeV. In the following "N1" ("C1") stands for the lightest neutralino (chargino). Exclusion limits at 95% CL are shown in the stop1-N1 mass plane. The dashed and solid lines show the expected and observed limits, respectively, including all uncertainties except the theoretical signal cross section uncertainty (PDF and scale). The decay mode stop1 → b+C1 with C1->W()+N1 is assumed with 100% BR. Various hypotheses on the stop1, C1 and N1 mass hierarchy are used: fixed C1 mass (106 GeV, 150 GeV), m(C1) ~ 2 × m(N1), fixed Delta M = m(stop1)−m(C1) at 10 GeV, and fixed Delta M = m(C1)−(N1) at 5 GeV. Note that these plots overlay contours belonging to different stop decay channels, different sparticle mass hierarchies, and simplified decay scenarios. Care must be taken when interpreting them.* Status of figure: August 2016 png 372kB, pdf 77kB This and previous plot versions
Summary of 95% CL exclusion limits in the (lightest stop, lightest neutralino) mass plane for direct stop and sbottom production assuming a "well-tempered neutralino" SUSY model where the lightest neutralinos and charginos are an admixture of bino and higgsino. This scenario is motivated by naturalness arguments and provides a dark matter candidate with the right relic density. The stop and sbottom can decay in several modes to the LSP, all of which are considered (as indicated on the plot). The corresponding branching ratios vary mostly as a function of the stop left-right mixing, and the sum of the branching ratios is bound to unity. The results are shown separately for two stop left-right mixing scenarios. Status of figure: March 2018 png 377kB, pdf 17kB This and previous plot versions
Summary of 95% CL exclusion limits in the (lightest stop, lightest neutralino) mass plane for direct stop and sbottom production assuming a SUSY model with the bino as the lightest SUSY particle (LSP) and the wino as the next-to-LSP, and the wino mass eigenstates (χ̃^±₁, χ̃⁰₂) approximately twice as heavy as the bino LSP (χ̃⁰₁). This scenario is motivated by gauge unification at the GUT scale. The stop and sbottom can decay in several modes to the LSP, all of which are considered (as indicated on the plot). The corresponding branching ratios vary across the mass plane, and the sum of the branching ratios is bound to unity. The results are shown separately for a positive and a negative higgsino mass parameter (μ>0 and μ<0), as this influences the branching ratios.

Summary of the dedicated ATLAS searches for top squark (stop) pair production based on 20 fb⁻¹ of pp collision data taken at √s = 8 TeV, and 4.7 fb⁻¹ of pp collision data taken at √s = 7 TeV. In the following "N1" ("C1") stands for the lightest neutralino (chargino). Exclusion limits at 95% CL are shown in the C1-N1 mass plane, assuming stop1 → b+C1 with C1->W()+N1 at BR=100% and stop1 mass at 300 GeV. The dashed and solid lines show the expected and observed limits, respectively, including all uncertainties except the theoretical signal cross section uncertainty (PDF and scale).

Summary of 95% CL exclusion limits in the (lightest stop, lightest neutralino) mass plane for direct stop production assuming a SUSY model with the higgsino as the lightest SUSY particle (LSP), and a mass-splitting amongst the higgsino mass eigenstates (χ̃⁰₂, χ̃^±₁, and χ̃⁰₁) of 5 GeV. This scenario is motivated by naturalness arguments. The stop can decay in several modes to the LSP, all of which are considered (as indicated on the plot). The corresponding branching ratios vary mostly as a function of the stop left-right mixing and tan(β) (ratio of the up- and down-type Higgs VEVs), and the sum of the branching ratios is bound to unity. The results are shown separately for three stop left-right mixing and tan(β) scenarios. Status of figure: July 2019 png 204kB, pdf 113kB This and previous plot versions
