It's On: Early Interpretations of ATLAS Results in Jets and Missing Energy Searches

The first search for supersymmetry from ATLAS with 70/nb of integrated luminosity extends the Tevatron’ s reach for colored particles that decay into jets plus missing transverse energy. For gluinos that decay directly or through a one step cascade into the LSP and two jets, the mass range m_g < 205 GeV is disfavored by the ATLAS searches, regardless of the mass of the LSP. In some cases the coverage extends up to m_g ~ 295 GeV, already surpassing the Tevatron’s reach for compressed supersymmetry spectra.
