Abstract

The search for physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM) is one of the most important goals for the general purpose detector ATLAS at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Supersymmetry search strategies based on generic event signatures of high jet multiplicity and large missing transverse momentum, optionally including leptons in the final state with R-parity conservation are discussed in this document. We review the results for above SUSY search strategies with first data up to 305 $nb^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity collected by ATLAS during 2010 at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV.
