Description
One of the primary goals of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN is to search for physics
beyond the Standard Model. This talk presents a search for Supersymmetry in proton-
proton collisions with a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded with the ATLAS
detector. The analysis is seeking to find events in which supersymmetric particles are
produced in proton-proton collisions and then decay into two leptons and a chargeless
supersymmetric particle which escapes ATLAS without detection. The search is
performed on data collected in 2015 and 2016, corresponding to a total luminosity of
36.1 fb-1. The main Standard Model backgrounds include top-antitop and direct Z
boson production and their yields are estimated using two data-driven methods. The
results are interpreted in terms of simplified Supersymmetry models of gluino-pair
and squark-pair production.
