Search for production of SUSY particles produced via electroweak interactions

Supersymmetry is one of the most popular extensions to the Standard Model of particle physics, as it can provide solutions to several limitations of the Standard Model. Many supersymmetric model feature new partices with masses less than a few hundred GeV, well within the reach of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. If strongly produced particles - squarks and gluinos - are much heavier, then the electroweak production of charginos and neutralinos may be the dom- inant supersymmetry production mechanism at the LHC. These proceedings present results from new searches for the production of charginos and neutralinos with particular focus on the recent paper by the ATLAS collaboration that summarises and extends the searchs for the electroweak production of sparticles using data from Run-1 of the LHC.
