This thesis describes searches for new particles predicted by the supersymmetry (SUSY) theory, a theory extending beyond the current  Standard Model of particle physics, using the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The thesis focuses on searches for stop and sbottom squarks, the SUSY...
