Description
Naturalness arguments for weak-scale supersymmetry favour supersymmetric partners of the third generation quarks with masses light enough to be produced at the LHC. The ATLAS experiment has a variety of analyses devoted to stop and sbottom direct production exploiting novel reconstruction and analysis techniques. This talk presents recent results using the full Run 2 dataset from these searches and their interpretation in both supersymmetric models and simplified associated-production dark matter models.
