Description
Experiments at the LHC have not yet seen any direct signs of superpartners.
Many authors have suggested mechanisms that reduce the SUSY reach of the
LHC from its canonical expectation. After a lightning review of these, I will
reexamine the fine-tuning arguments that led to these canonical expectations
and argue that the non-appearance of superpartners may not be at odds with
SUSY naturalness. I will conclude with an outlook for natural SUSY at the proposed luminosity and energy upgrades of the LHC.
