SUMMARY:Hunting for Supersymmetry at the LHC: A Dive into Naturalness ... A
	nd Beyond?
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Stefano Zambito\, Harvard University\nHosted by: Inda
	ra Suarez\n\nPart of the HEE Seminar Series.\n\nAfter the discovery of the 
	Higgs Boson\, the predictions of the Standard Model of particle physics can
	\nbe extrapolated without inconsistencies all the way up to the Planck mass
	. Despite this tremendous\nsuccess\, we still remain in the dark about many
	 open puzzles. Why is the weak interaction much\nstronger than gravity? Wha
	t is the nature of Dark Matter? Are the strong\, weak and electromagnetic\n
	forces a lower-energy manifestation of one single fundamental interaction? 
	A possible solution to these\nquestions is provided by Supersymmetry. The k
	ey assumption behind many natural supersymmetric\nmodels is that the masses
	 of the gluinos\, the top squarks and the higgsinos are near the TeV scale\
	, thus\nwithin the LHC reach. In this presentation\, I will introduce some 
	of the theoretical and phenomenological\narguments that motivate the quest 
	for Supersymmetry. I will then outline how I searched for\nthe above-mentio
	ned particles using LHC Run-2 data collected by the ATLAS experiment. Final
	ly\, I\nwill focus on my vision of the future and my research plans in high
	-energy experimental physics.
