Walter Hopkins – Using Direct Stop Searches at ATLAS to Constrain the Parameter Space of Supersymmetric Models

Abstract: A summary of the search for direct stop production in the 0-lepton channel is presented using 20  TeV data collected with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. One of the stop decay modes considered is a stop decay to …
