Highlights on Supersymmetry and Exotic Searches at the LHC (2204.03053v1)

Abstract: The Run 2 data taking period of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in years 2015-2018 has presented a great opportunity to search for physics beyond the standard model (BSM). It will be followed by the Run 3 period starting in 2022, and by the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) era starting in late 2020s, where the latter promises an unprecedented wealth of physics prospects due to very high expected integrated luminosity and improved detector features. The ATLAS, CMS and LHCb experiments pursued a rich physics program in Run 2, and are already assessing the physics expectations at the HL-LHC era. This report presents highlights from recent search results and HL-LHC studies on BSM physics by the ATLAS, CMS and LHCb experiments. Examples will be shown from model-independent generic searches, searches for supersymmetry, extended Higgs sectors, and new exotic fermions and bosons.
