Searches for Electroweak Production of Supersymmetric Gauginos and Sleptons with the ATLAS Detector

Abstract

Supersymmetry (SUSY) is considered one of the best motivated extensions of the Standard Model. The second period of data taking at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at 13 TeV of center of mass energy, Run-2, started in 2015 and provides an important testbed for the search of beyond the Standard Model physics. In particular, the direct production of supersymmetric electroweak particles, such as sleptons, neutralinos and charginos, could be a promising probe for SUSY signals at the LHC, since the most recent searches for strongly-produced superparticles have excluded gluinos and squarks of all generations up to the TeV scale. This proceeding summarizes some of the most recent ATLAS results obtained from the searches for gauginos and sleptons.
