Searches for strong production of supersymmetry at ATLAS and CMS

TL;DR

This paper reviews the extensive searches for supersymmetric particles at ATLAS and CMS using 36 fb$^{-1}$ of 13 TeV collision data, setting new limits despite no discovery of new physics.

Contribution

It provides updated exclusion limits on supersymmetric models based on the latest LHC data, extending previous bounds by several hundred GeV.

Findings

No evidence of supersymmetry found in the analyzed data.

New exclusion limits surpass previous results from 7 and 8 TeV runs.

Constraints on various supersymmetric scenarios are significantly improved.

Abstract

Searches for physics beyond the standard model are considered one of the corner stones of the physics program at the two multipurpose experiments, ATLAS and CMS, at the LHC. Both experiments have conducted numerous searches for new supersymmetric particles in a wide variety of final states at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV. The datasets discussed in these proceedings consist of 36 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions collected during the 2016 run of the LHC. No signs of new physics are found, however, limits on different supersymmetric scenarios are placed and extend previous exclusion regions from 7 and 8 TeV by several hundred GeV.
