Abstract
This chapter presents a search for signatures of Supersymmetry in events containing two energetic isolated photons and large missing transverse momentum generated in proton-proton collision data at \(\sqrt{s}=13\) TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector [1, 2]. The results are interpreted in the context of the supersymmetric general gauge mediation (GGM) models [3,4,5,6,7,8,9] (see Chap. 3). These results extend those of prior studies with 8 TeV collision data from Run 1 by the ATLAS [10] and CMS [11] experiments.
