Project description

The LHC will restart colliding protons in Spring 2016 at nearly doubled energy and with higher rates. With a Higgs boson already discovered, searching for new physics, in particular Supersymmetry, is now the top priority of the LHC experiments. The CMS Ghent group propose a research project with the goal to discover or rule out so-called natural SUSY.
