David Stuart (UCSB) "Recent CMS SUSY Results"

Abstract:
The LHC energy increase from 8 TeV to 13 TeV in 2015 provided a significant increase in sensitivity for new, high mass particles. This had a large impact on the sensitivity of searches for supersymmetric squarks and gluinos even though the 2015 data sample is relatively small.  I will survey the results of these searches, discuss some of the strategy of the CMS SUSY program, and describe the methodology for three specific searches.
