Abstract
Third generation squarks are expected to have masses of < 1 TeV due to nat- uralness arguments. As such production of these squarks may be possible at the LHC. An overview of the most recent ATLAS third generation results and summary paper are presented in these proceedings. In addition to this, an overview of the outlook for such searches in Run 2 of the LHC is also presented.
Highlights
Supersymmetry (SUSY) is a possible extension of the Standard Model (SM) which provides solutions to questions which remain unanswered by the SM, such as the Higgs hierarchy problem, and certain SUSY scenarios provide a candidate for dark matter [1]
The analysis extends the general exclusion for charm squarks originally set by the ATLAS 0L+2-6 jets analysis [4]
R-parity violating SUSY scenarios do not contain the large EmT iss which is characteristic of R-parity conserving models and must use different methods and variables in order to discriminate signal and background processes
Summary
Supersymmetry (SUSY) is a possible extension of the Standard Model (SM) which provides solutions to questions which remain unanswered by the SM, such as the Higgs hierarchy problem, and certain SUSY scenarios provide a candidate for dark matter [1]. In R-parity conserving (RPC) SUSY models the lightest SUSY particle (LSP) is stable and a dark matter candidate. The main signature of such scenarios is a large amount of missing transverse momentum, EmT iss due to the non-interacting LSP leaving the detector. In R-parity violating scenarios (RPV) where the LSP is not stable and can decay to SM particles, this is not the case and vastly different signatures are expected involving a high object multiplicity
