"Searching for Supersymmetry with the ATLAS experiment"


Evelyn Thomson , University of Pennsylvania
[Host: Chris Neu]
ABSTRACT:

The ATLAS experiment is searching new territory for evidence of new particles produced in proton collisions at the highest energies.  Questioning assumptions is important in these searches. I will compare selected results from searches for supersymmetry with and without the assumption of R-Parity, a quantum number derived from the spin and type of particle.  I will also present some of the detector-related challenges associated with measuring charged particle momenta, including the planned upgrade of the detector to cope with up to 200 proton collisions every 25 nanoseconds.
