Search for Supersymmetry with displaced vertices and muons using the ATLAS detector

Search for Supersymmetry with displaced vertices and muons using the ATLAS detector

The results of a search for Supersymmetry (SUSY) using the full 2012 ATLAS dataset with an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb-¹ at √s = 8 TeV are interpreted and presented in the context of gauge mediated SUSY. No events with at least one long-lived particle that decays at a significant distance from...
