The LHC has ruled out Supersymmetry -- really?

Abstract

Despite early hopes that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) would quickly unveil supersymmetric particles, none have been detected to date. This review examines the impact of the LHC results on the viability of weak-scale supersymmetry, and discusses whether the possibility of discovering supersymmetric particles remains within reach.
