In the Standard Model, the mass of the Higgs boson is greatly destabilised by quantum corrections, and free parameters of the model need to be extremely fine-tuned in order to arrive at the measured Higgs mass.
A supersymmetric extension of the standard model can solve the fine-tuning problem of the Higgs mass and explain dark matter. In this project we search for the supersymmetric partner of the top quark with data from the ATLAS experiment at CERN.
