Toward Full LHC Coverage of Natural Supersymmetry

Understand

We argue that combining just a handful of searches for new physics at Run I of the LHC is sufficient to exclude most supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model in which the gluino is kinematically accessible and the spectrum is natural.

• Such models typically give rise to significant MET, top quarks and/or high object multiplicity, and we show that having even one of these signatures generally results in stringent limits.
• We also identify, among models that lack these signatures, the few gaps in coverage remaining, and propose search strategies to close these gaps.
• Our results are general and independent of the details of the spectrum, assumptions about minimality, R-parity, etc.
