Abstract

Supersymmetry (SUSY) is one of the most interesting and comprehensively studied models for new physics beyond the Standard Model. If SUSY exists in nature the Large Hadron Collider will provide excellent opportunities to search for SUSY. SUSY discovery strategies of the ATLAS and CMS experiments are presented with a focus on early data. SUSY mass measurement techniques and determination of SUSY model parameters are also demonstrated.
