SUMMARY:No low-hanging fruit
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Valentina Dutta\, UCSB\nHosted by: Indara Suarez\n\nP
	art of the HEE Seminar Series.\n\nThe quest to find physics beyond the SM i
	s a top priority for the LHC experiments. While no evidence for new physics
	 has been seen thus far\, analysis of the most recent data is still in prog
	ress. I will address how searches for supersymmetry (SUSY) at the LHC have 
	evolved\, from generic searches to targeted analyses focused on more diffic
	ult topologies and signatures. As an example\, I will discuss a challenging
	 search for the supersymmetric partner of the tau lepton (the tau slepton o
	r stau) at CMS. In some scenarios\, staus could be the key to explaining th
	e observed dark matter relic density\, which makes this search particularly
	 intriguing. I will present the latest results of the CMS stau search based
	 on part of the Run-2 data set\, and indicate the future prospects for this
	 search at the HL-LHC in light of planned detector upgrades.
