Multijet background estimation for supersymmetry searches using the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider

This thesis describes a data-driven technique for estimating the multijet background to Supersymmetry (SUSY) searches with no leptons using the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The technique is used to estimate multijet distributions in SUSY signal and control regions with 1 fb−1 of sqrt...
