  • Description: AbstractA search for strongly produced supersymmetric particles is conducted using signatures involving multiple energetic jets and either two isolated leptons (eor μ) with the same electric charge, or at least three isolated leptons. The search also utilises jets originating fromb-quarks, missing transverse momentum and other observables to extend its sensitivity. The analysis uses a data sample corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb−1of$ \sqrt{s} $= 8 TeV proton-proton collisions recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider in 2012. No deviation from the Standard Model expectation is observed. New or significantly improved exclusion limits are set on a wide variety of supersymmetric models in which the lightest squark can be of the first, second or third generations, and in which R-parity can be conserved or violated.
