Supersymmetry Without Prejudice at the 7 TeV LHC

Understand

We investigate the model independent nature of the Supersymmetry search strategies at the 7 TeV LHC.

• To this end, we study the missing-transverse-energy-based searches developed by the ATLAS Collaboration that were essentially designed for mSUGRA.
• We simulate the signals for ~71k models in the 19-dimensional parameter space of the pMSSM.
• These models have been found to satisfy existing experimental and theoretical constraints and provide insight into general features of the MSSM without reference to a particular SUSY breaking scenario or any other assumptions at the GUT scale.
