Searches for direct pair production of stops and sbottoms with the ATLAS detector

Naturalness arguments for weak-scale supersymmetry favour supersymmetric partners of the third generation quarks with masses not too far from those of their Standard Model counterparts. The phenomenology ranges from final states of top or bottom quark pairs and two dark matter candidates, to more complex scenarios involving non-prompt sparticle decays or R-parity violating signatures. This talk presents recent ATLAS results from searches for direct sbottom and stop pair production focusing on the less conventional scenarios.
