It's on: Early interpretations of ATLAS results in jets and missing energy searches

The first search for supersymmetry from ATLAS with 70 nb(-1) of integrated luminosity extends the Tevatron' s reach for colored particles that decay into jets plus missing transverse energy. For gluinos that decay directly or through a one step cascade into the LSP and two jets, the mass range m((g) over bar) <= 205 GeV is disfavored by the ATLAS searches, regardless of the mass of the LSP. In some cases the coverage extends up to m((g) over bar) similar or equal to 295 GeV, already surpassing the Tevatron's reach for compressed supersymmetry spectra. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.
