Natural SUSY's Last Hiding Places
The LHC has placed strong constraints on many signals of supersymmetry. This is beginning to lead to some tension in the idea of supersymmetry as a fully natural solution to the hierarchy problem. However, nonminimal models can evade direct searches. I will discuss some ways that SUSY can be hiding from us, and how a broader LHC search strategy as well as precision Standard Model measurements can explore these hiding places in the future.
