Abstract
Naturalness arguments for weak-scale supersymmetry favour supersymmetric partners of the third
generation quarks with masses not too far from those of their Standard Model counterparts. Top
or bottom squarks with masses less than a few hundred GeV can also give rise to direct pair
production rates at the LHC that can be observed in the data sample recorded by the ATLAS
detector. The talk presents recent ATLAS results from searches for direct stop and sbottom pair
production based on 20:7fb1 of integrated luminosity with the LHC operating at a pp centre-ofmass
energy of 8 TeV.
