Searches for supersymmetry at the Large Hadron Collider

Abstract

The Standard Model of particles and fields describes the fundamental particles and their interactions to high level of precision. The SM is nevertheless considered to be a low energy effective theory as it leaves many open questions including: What is the origin of the dark matter in the Universe? What is the origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe? What is the origin of mass? Supersymmety is one of the most appealing theories of physics beyond the Standard Model as it can address the SM shortcomings in an elegant framework. This paper reviews the most recent direct searches for supersymmetry developed by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at the Large Hadron Collider. Keywords: Supersymmetry, LHC, HL-LHC, CERN, ATLAS, CMS,
