Elliot Lipeles:
1. For the inputs discussion, I will use the ATLAS H->WW result which has a significant and subtle interplay with theory: "Measurements of the properties of the Higgs-like boson in the $WW^{(\ast)} \to \ell \nu \ell \nu$ decay channel with the ATLAS detector using 25 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data" ATLAS-CONF-2013-030 http://cds.cern.ch/record/1527126
Sunil Somalwar:
My reading list consists of LHC results that use leptons in the signature from these two locations:
1. https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/CMSPublic/PhysicsResultsSUS
2. https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/AtlasPublic/SupersymmetryPublicResults

Jesse Thaler:
For my lectures on Jet Substructure, the following references will be helpful:
1. Jessie Shelton, "TASI Lectures on Jet Substructure" http://arxiv.org/abs/1302.0260 (a good introduction)
2. Gavin Salam, "Towards Jetography" http://arxiv.org/abs/0906.1833 (a few more advanced topics)
3. R. K. Ellis, W. J. Stirling, B. R. Webber (Author), "QCD and Collider Physics (Cambridge Monographs on Particle Physics, Nuclear Physics and Cosmology)" (the classic textbook, aka 'The Pink Book')
Natalia Toro:
1. S. Martin, "A Supersymmetry Primer" http://arxiv.org/abs/hepph/9709356 (sections 6 and 9 will be most relevant)
2. Papucci, Ruderman, and Weiler, "Natural SUSY Endures" http://arxiv.org/abs/1110.6926 (especially section 2)
3. Additionally, it would be useful to look over the current SUSY search limits from both ATLAS and CMS as seen at https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/CMSPublic/PhysicsResultsSUS and https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/AtlasPublic/SupersymmetryPublicResults (one nice summary for CMS 7TeV data is http://arxiv.org/abs/1301.2175)
