Status of SUSY after the 8 TeV LHC run

• Nazila Mahmoudi (CERN & LPC Clermont-Ferrand)

Room: Aula Seminari I will review the implications of the direct SUSY and Higgs search results at the LHC and emphasize on the differences between constrained scenarios, such as mSUGRA, and more general MSSM scenarios. Complementary information can also be obtained using monojet searches at the LHC, as well as from Dark Matter experiments and flavour physics data, that will be described briefly. Finally, I will present projected results for the next LHC run.

SUSY searches status with the CMS detector

• Ferdinando Giordano (CT)

Room: Aula Seminari The LHC first run came to an end in February 2013 after three years of extraordinary performance. Major advances in physics have been achieved, including the discovery of a new light Higgs particle. This discovery is in agreement with many predictions from simple SuperSymmetric (SUSY) theories, which also predict light super-partners particles. The mass of some of these particles is required to be within the LHC reach by naturalness, therefore an extensive program of searches for new physics phenomena beyond the Standard Model is pursued by the major experiments. In this talk, the most recent results on SUSY searches from the CMS collaboration are presented, covering a broad number of models and scenarios.

Long Lived Particles Searches in SUSY and BSM in the ATLAS experiment

• Monica Verducci (INFN)

Room: Aula Seminari Many models of physics beyond the Standard Model predict new particles with long lifetimes. Examples include Supersymmetry with R-parity violation, suppressed decays of the next-to-lightest Supersymmetric particle, or models with hidden sectors. The Large Hadron Collider has extended the reach of particle-physics experiments with a potential for discovery of new physics at the TeV scale and many searches have been carried out by both ATLAS and CMS. The methodology of the searches (reconstruction techniques, background suppression, etc.) and the sensitivity of these searches in the ATLAS experiment are reviewed.
