Searches for supersymmetric partners of the bottom and top quarks with the ATLAS detector

Abstract:

Supersymmetry is a promising candidate theory that could solve the hierarchy problem and explain the dark matter density in the Universe. The ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider is sensitive to a variety of such supersymmetric models. This thesis reports on a search for pair production of the supersymmetric scalar partners of bottom and top quarks in 20.1 fb−1 of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV using the ATLAS experiment. The study focuses on...
