Search for squarks and gluinos in final state with jets and missing transverse momentum with the ATLAS detector

Many extensions of the Standard Model (SM) include heavy coloured particles, such as the squarks and gluinos of supersymmetric (SUSY) theories, which could be accessible at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and detected by ATLAS. The current searches in the LHC Run-1 dataset have yielded sensitivity to TeV scale gluinos, as well as to squarks in the hundreds of GeV mass range. The discovery reach in Run-2 is expected to be greatly enhanced due to the large increase in the LHC centre-of-mass collision energy from 8 TeV to 13 TeV. In this poster, the most recent Run-1 results and interpretations from inclusive searches for squarks and gluinos in final states with jets and missing trasverse momentum are presented. Moreover, we present sensitivity studies for gluino pair production in the same final state with a full simulation of the ATLAS detector at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV.
