Abstract

During the LHC Run-II data-taking period, several searches for supersymmetric particles were performed by the ATLAS collaboration. The results from these searches are concisely reviewed. Model-independent and model-dependent limits on new particle production are set, and interpretations in supersymmetric models are given.

Highlights

  • Several searches for supersymmetric (SUSY) particles were performed with data taken by the ATLAS experiment [1]

  • The search for SUSY particles is highly motivated in three aspects 1) gauge coupling unification [3], 2) dark matter candidates [4] and 3) naturalness [5]

  • An overview of all ATLAS SUSY searches is given in Ref. [7]

Summary

Introduction

Several searches for supersymmetric (SUSY) particles were performed with data taken by the ATLAS experiment [1]. An example of a SUSY candidate event display is shown in Fig. 1 [2]. The search for SUSY particles is highly motivated in three aspects 1) gauge coupling unification [3], 2) dark matter candidates [4] and 3) naturalness (light Higgs boson mass) [5]. An overview of all ATLAS SUSY searches is given in Ref. The major expected production cross-sections for SUSY reactions are illustrated in Fig. 1 [6]. Inclusive 2-6 jets searches for the third generation gluino mediation were performed.
