At the LHC, searches for the pair production of strongly-interacting supersymmetric particles profit from high cross sections, and mass limits set in the context of simplified models reach up to about 2 TeV for gluinos, and 1-1.5 TeV for squarks. The talk will cover searches based on pp collisions recorded at sqrt(s) = 13 TeV with the CMS experiment in final states with 0, 1, 2, or more...
Despite the absence of experimental evidence, weak-scale supersymmetry remains one of the best-motivated and studied Standard Model extensions. This talk summarises recent ATLAS results on inclusive searches for supersymmetric squarks and gluinos, including third-generation squarks produced in the decay of gluinos. The searches involve final states containing jets, missing transverse momentum...
Without clear evidence of new physics in LHC data thus far, it has become increasingly important to critically analyze the data in a model-independent fashion. We present such a technique, which we call "Rectangular Aggregations", and apply it to a CMS jet+MET SUSY search. We identify a previously overlooked excess with low jet multiplicity and low MET and HT, which we refer to as a "monojet...
Searches for supersymmetry are a key focus of the LHC experimental program. In particular, natural SUSY models motivate third generation squarks with masses light enough to be produced at the LHC. As a result, the ATLAS experiment has a variety of analyses devoted to stop/sbottom direct production. In this talk, recent results from these searches for are discussed, and the current stop/sbottom...
Supersymmetric partners of third-generation quarks play a crucial role in models of natural supersymmetry. The talk reports on results of searches for top and bottom squarks, based on pp collisions recorded during LHC Run 2 by the CMS experiment. The searches cover final states with 0, 1, or 2 leptons and are interpreted in simplified models that cover different kinematic domains defined by...
