Abstract
This work investigates signatures of supersymmetry through the phenomenological Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (pMSSM), considering the collider and astrophysical implications that minimal supersymmetry may have. We scan over the 19-dimensional parameter space of the pMSSM, considering both the neutralino and gravitino as candidates for the lightest supersymmetric particle. We explore the sensitivity of the Large Hadron Collider to large sets of pMSSM models, and additionally consider the impact that current and future dark matter direct detection, indirect detection, and neutrino telescope experiments would have in constraining the pMSSM.
