Supersymmetry

Abstract

These lecture notes give an introduction to supersymmetry and its phenomenology at colliders. In the first lecture, after motivating, we discuss supersymmetry formalism and the construction of supersymmetric Lagrangian with scalars, fermions and gauge bosons. The second lecture covers the structure of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). Current experimental limits and the prospects of measurements of MSSM parameters at the LHC are briefly reviewed. Assuming that the LHC finds signals of SUSY, in the last lecture we discuss the exploration of supersymmetry at future Linear Colliders with the ultimate goal of reconstructing the fundamental theory.
