Supersymmetry in Elementary Particle Physics

These lectures give a general introduction to supersymmetry, emphasizing its application to models of elementary particle physics at the 100 GeV energy scale. I discuss the following topics: the construction of supersymmetric Lagrangians with scalars, fermions, and gauge bosons, the structure and mass spectrum of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), the measurement of the parameter...

SUPERSYMMETRY IN PARTICLE PHYSICS An Elementary Introduction

Computer Algebra in Particle Physics

These lectures given to graduate students in theoretical particle physics, provide an introduction to the “inner workings” of computer algebra systems. Computer algebra has become an indispensable tool for precision calculations in particle physics. A good knowledge of the basics of computer algebra systems allows one to exploit these systems more efficiently. email address : [email protected]
