The discovery and exploration of Supersymmetry in a model-independent fashion will be a daunting task due to the large number of soft-breaking parameters in the MSSM. In this paper, we explore the capability of the ATLAS detector at the LHC (  TeV, 1 fb −1 ) to find SUSY within the 19-dimensional pM...
