Highlights from SUSY searches with ATLAS

Understand

Supersymmetry (SUSY) is one of the most relevant scenarios of new physics searched by the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider.

• In this writeup the principal search strategies employed by ATLAS are outlined and the most recent results for analyses targeting SUSY discovery are discussed.
• A wide range of signatures is covered motivated by various theoretical scenarios and topologies: strong production, third-generation fermions, long-lived particles and R-parity violation, among others.
• The results are based on up to ~5 fb-1 of data recorded during 2010-2011 at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV centre-of-mass energy by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC.
