Latest ATLAS results on Supersymmetry with √s=13 TeV data

The first Run 2 LHC data collected in 2015 offers a great opportunity to search for physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). The ATLAS detector, trigger and reconstruction software have been improved during the long LHC shutdown and, more importantly for the search for new physics, the LHC center-of-mass energy √s has been increased from 8 to 13 TeV. Supersymmetry (SUSY) is one of the favored framework for new physics because it solves several of the problems of the SM. After a short introduction to SUSY, I will review the status of the field at the end of the ATLAS Run 1. I will then present the latest ATLAS SUSY results with √s=13 TeV data. Even though the 2015 ATLAS dataset is approximately six times smaller than in Run 1, the sensitivity of several searches is significantly improved with respect to Run 1.
