Experimental status of particle and astroparticle searches for supersymmetry

Abstract

An overview of supersymmetry searches is presented, covering collider experiments, direct and indirect searches for supersymmetric dark matter. Recent LHC experimental results are reviewed, and the constraints from B-meson decays are reported. Implications for supersymmetry of the latest direct and indirect searches are thoroughly discussed. The focus is on the complementarity of the various probes -- particle and astrophysical -- for constraining Supersymmetry.
