SUSY Searches at the LHC

The search for Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics is the major task of the LHC, CERN. In this talk, I review the status of searches for Supersymmetry by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations. The efforts in both the hadronic and leptonic search channels are presented. A special focus is placed on the treatment of approximately 1 inverse fb of early LHC data, and examples of background estimation techniques in such a dataset are given. Phenomenologically, besides "typical" mSUGRA scenarios, signatures based on prompt and non-pointing photons, as well as long-lived quasi-stable leptons and hadrons (R-hadrons) are covered.
