Search for SUSY at the LHC using the ETmiss signature

In this paper, a selection of current searches for supersymmetric particles in proton-proton collisions at the LHC at sort(s) 7 TeV, with the ATLAS and CMS detectors is presented. All these searches apply a requirement on large missing transverse energy, which is a signature of many SUSY scenarios. Many different final states sensitive to first and second generation squark and gluino production are discussed, including purely hadronic ones as well as final states with leptons or photons. As no excesses beyond Standard Model predictions have been found further searches for are anticipated, especially in final states that are sensitive to the production of superpartners of the third generation fermions or of the electroweak bosons.
