Besides Standard Model measurements and other beyond-Standard-Model studies, the ATLAS experiment at the LHC will search for Supersymmetry (SUSY), one of the most attractive extensions of the Standard Model. The SUSY discovery potential of the ATLAS experiment will be presented in this seminar, together with examples of recent studies aiming at measuring the sparticle masses and other SUSY properties. Related studies involving R-parity violating scenarios will also be discussed. These studies are based on a realistic simulation, which includes the as-built description of the ATLAS detector, trigger efficiencies and effects of misalignment. Emphasis will be given on the synergy between the aforementioned search-for-SUSY strategy with dedicated studies on the discovery and determination of properties of the Higgs bosons. Furthermore, the interpretation of a possible positive SUSY signal as an explanation of Dark Matter will be discussed.
