Searches for supersymmetry at CMS

Abstract

CMS has searched for supersymmetry using the full dataset recorded until the end of 2012, at a centerof-mass energy of 8 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20 fb-1. The observations are consistent with the expectations from the standard model. CMS maintains a broad spectrum of search strategies that target a wide range of supersymmetric scenarios. A selection of results from very inclusive and almost model-independent searches to very specific and specialized analyses will be discussed in this article. Abstract.
