Searches for compressed SUSY with the CMS experiment

Supersymmetry is a theoretical extension of the Standard Model that includes a viable dark matter candidate. This appealing yet unconfirmed theory is the target of many CMS searches. More specifically, many analyses search for evidence of supersymmetry in the notoriously difficult compressed region, where the mass of the parent sparticle is close to that of the child, constraining the phase space and leading to soft decay products. The latest results from several CMS analyses searching in the compressed sector with data from the LHC Run II are presented, including analyses interpreted in terms of stop, electroweakino and slepton models. These analyses employ different techniques to search for SUSY in a variety of final states and lead to stringent limits.
