TL;DR: In this paper, partial Bayes factors are calculated to quantify how the feasibility of the constrained minimal supersymmetric standard model (CMSSM) has changed in the light of a series of observations, where probability reflects a degree of belief in a proposition and Bayes’ theorem tells us how to update it after acquiring new information.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare fine-tuning in a Ω3 conserving semi-constrained NMSSM to the constrained MSSM (CMSSM), and show that naturalness priors provide valuable insight into the hierarchy problem.

TL;DR: The ATLAS diphoton search with 4.8 b(-1) of data is used to place limits in both the top-squark-gluino and neutralino-chargino mass planes, providing the first nontrivial constraints in natural gauge mediation models with a neutralino next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle decaying to photons.

TL;DR: The results of many LHC searches for supersymmetric particles are interpreted using simplified models, in which one fixes the masses and couplings of most sparticles then scans over a few remaining masses of interest as mentioned in this paper.
