Can the LHC rule out the MSSM ?

AbdusSalam, S. S.

Understand

If supersymmetry (SUSY) exists in nature and is a solution to the hierarchy problem then it should be detectable at the TeV energy scale which the large hadron collider (LHC) is now exploring.

One of the main goals of the LHC is the discovery or exclusion of the R-parity conserving minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM).
So far, the SUSY search results are presented in the context of the constrained MSSM and other specific simplified SUSY models.
A model-independent analysis necessarily relies on the trigger-system of the LHC detectors.
