Advancements in searches for third-generation supersymmetry using the ATLAS detector

摘要

The long search for supersymmetric particles in high-energy physics experiments is leading to the exclusion of huge portions of the parameters space available for the masses of third-generations squarks. On the study of these states is based the search of a solution to the hierarchy problem in the Standard Model (SM); either the confirmation or the exclusion of their existence at masses O(1TeV) will be the base to the evolution of the high-energy physics in the upcoming decades. An overview of results achieved by the ATLAS experiment during Run-II in pp collisions with centre-of-mass energy of 13TeV is presented in the following and specific cases of production and decay of top and bottom squarks will be discussed.
