6/22/2015Carlos Sánchez - IFAE4 Looking For SUSY Introduces many new particles. Multiple signatures available. Pair produced. Decay into SM partners plus MET. No knowledge of how EWKSB occurs theorists choose models. Huge parameter space to explore. Very small cross sections. Looking for new physics with the same old tools: jets, leptons, MET, …
