Description

In supersymmetry, most solutions to the hierarchy problem feature relatively
light gluinos. For the first time in history we can probe these gluino masses up
to 2 TeV. This talk will motivate searches for gluinos and present search
results and techniques, that focus on supersymmetric models where the gluinos
are believed to be relatively light and that have either one lepton or two
oppositely charged leptons in their final state. The searches are performed on
data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 fb-1 and a center of mass
energy of 13 TeV, recorded with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC in 2016.
