Prospects for non-standard SUSY searches at LHC
New studies of the ATLAS and CMS collaborations are presented on the
sensitivity to searches for non-standard signatures of particular SUSY
scenarios. These signatures include non-pointing photons, as well as pairs of
prompt photons, as expected in GMSB SUSY models, as well as heavy stable
charged particles produced in split supersymmetry models, long lived staus from
GMSB SUSY and long lived stops in other SUSY scenarios. A detailed detector
simulation is used for the study, and all relevant Standard Model backgrounds
and detector effects that can mimic these special signatures are included. It
is shown that already with less than 100 pb the ATLAS and CMS
sensitivity will probe an interesting as yet by data unexplored parameter range
of these models.Comment: Paraller talk presented at ICHEP08 on behalf of the ATLAS and CMS

Bottomonium production at forward rapidity with ALICE at the LHC
Bottomonium production is a powerful tool to investigate hadron collisions
and the properties of the medium created in heavy-ion collisions. According to
the color-screening model, these mesons give important information about the
deconfined medium called Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) produced in ultrarelativistic
heavy-ion collisions. Cold nuclear matter (CNM) effects can modify the
bottomonium production even in absence of deconfined matter: the study of
proton-nucleus collisions is therefore essential to disentangle these effects
from the hot ones. Last but not least, measurement in pp collisions serve as
crucial test of different QCD models of quarkonium hadroproduction and provide
the reference for the study in nucleus-nucleus collisions.
In ALICE, bottomonium is measured at forward rapidity () down to
zero transverse momentum, exploiting the dimuon decay channel. The latest
results in pp, Pb-Pb and p-Pb collisions are discussed and compared to
theoretical calculations.Comment: Proceeding of the presentation at the Initial Stages 2014 Conference,

SUSY sensitivity in final states with leptons, jets, and missing transverse energy
Final states with leptons, jets and missing transverse energy are a promising
way to detect Supersymmetry at the Large Hadron Collider. Results of simulation
studies performed by the CMS and ATLAS collaborations are presented. The
discovery of new physics is shown to be possible within the first fb^-1 of
collected integrated luminosity.Comment: Submitted for the SUSY07 proceedings, 4 pages, LaTeX, 6 eps figure
