One of the promising signatures of new physics in the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider is the ordinary photon at extraordinary energies. In models of gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking, for example, photons can be produced in conjunction with gravitino dark matter candidates and even Higgs bosons. Recent ATLAS search results in three different photon+missing energy signatures place constraints on these new physics models, and the reach of these searches is complementary to other LHC searches.
