Title:     Exploring supersymmetry at TRIUMF  -     a collaborative theory/experiment talk

Abstract: Supersymmetry (SUSY) is one of the most studied theories of beyond the standard model physics, and models of supersymmetry are currently being tested at the LHC. At TRIUMF, SUSY is being studied by both particle theorists and ATLAS experimentalists - and often in overlapping domains, allowing each group to benefit from the expertise and results of the other. This talks brings together two TRIUMF researchers - one from theory and one from experiment - to discuss the motivations behind researching SUSY, describe some of the results of the searches for SUSY at the LHC, and try to establish the context of these results within the bigger picture of particle physics.















This talk is part of the monthly Society of Graduate Students and Postdocs meeting program, but is being opened to the larger TRIUMF community. Everyone is welcome to listen in on the talk.
