| contents | Supersymmetry has long played a central role in the search for physics beyond the Standard Model at colliders, providing a comprehensive and internally consistent framework for generating well-motivated experimental signatures. For more than fifteen years of LHC operation, the CMS and ATLAS collaborations have achieved remarkable sensitivity to a wide range of supersymmetric signatures. Despite this unprecedented reach, no conclusive evidence for supersymmetry has emerged. If supersymmetry is nature's solution to outstanding questions in particle physics, it is necessarily challenging to find. In this article, we review supersymmetric signatures that are particularly rare or otherwise challenging, with a focus on searches at the Large Hadron Collider. We highlight experimental challenges relating to detector constraints and analysis difficulties, in addition to model challenges in the interpretation and optimization of searches. We also identify regions of signature space that remain comparatively unconstrained and therefore represent promising targets for future exploration. |
