Where is(n't) the new physics? A theorist's perspective on the latest results from ICHEP and Moriond

• David Shih (Rutgers University)

Room: Sunrise - WH11NE Many new ATLAS and CMS results were presented recently at ICHEP and Moriond, and the limits on new physics have expanded greatly. I will review these results, focusing mainly on the SUSY searches. I will discuss their implications for natural SUSY: while vanilla versions of SUSY are increasingly fine-tuned, many other flavors of natural SUSY remain viable. Finally, I will argue that the official ATLAS and CMS limit plots can obscure many potentially interesting fluctuations in the data, and I will briefly highlight some that may deserve further scrutiny.
