Searches for Supersymmetry with the CMS Experiment

TL;DR

This paper reviews the CMS experiment's recent efforts and improved sensitivity in searching for supersymmetry using the 2011 LHC data, building on previous limits and discoveries.

Contribution

It provides an overview of the SUSY search strategies and expected discovery reach with the new data collected in 2011.

Findings

Enhanced search sensitivity for SUSY signals.

Revised limits on supersymmetric particle masses.

Potential for new physics discoveries with 2011 data.

Abstract

After a very successful startup of the LHC in 2010, the CMS experiment has already accumulated significantly more data in 2011. After the successful re-discovery of the Standard Model, the search for signs of new physics has already reached, and in most cases enlarged, the limits from previous experiments. In this conference report I review the recent discovery reach of SUSY searches that will be performed with the 2011 data.
