The Soft Supersymmetry-Breaking Lagrangian: Theory and Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
After an introduction recalling the theoretical motivation for low energy (100 GeV to TeV scale) supersymmetry, this review describes the theory and experimental implications of the soft supersymmetry-breaking Lagrangian of the general minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). Extensions to include neutrino masses and nonminimal theories are also discussed. Topics covered include models of supersymmetry breaking, phenomenological constraints from electroweak symmetry breaking, flavor/CP violation, collider searches, and cosmological constraints including dark matter and implications for baryogenesis and inflation.

TASI 2008 Lectures: Introduction to Supersymmetry and Supersymmetry Breaking
These lectures, presented at TASI 08 school, provide an introduction to supersymmetry and supersymmetry breaking. We present basic formalism of supersymmetry, supersymmetric non-renormalization theorems, and summarize non-perturbative dynamics of supersymmetric QCD.We then turn to discussion of tree level, non-perturbative, and metastable supersymmetry breaking. We introduce Minimal Supersymmet...
متن کاملThe Supersymmetry Soft-breaking Lagrangian — Where Experiment and String Theory Meet∗
After an introduction recalling that we expect low energy supersymmetry to be part of our description of nature because of considerable indirect evidence and successful predictions, and a discussion of the essential role of data for formulating and testing string theory, these lectures focus on the role of the supersymmetry soft-breaking Lagrangian in connecting experiment and string theory. Ho...
متن کاملSuperpartners and Future Colliders
This talk focuses on two aspects of the search for super symmetry. First I argue that if the breaking of the electroweak symmetry is indeed explained by supersymmetry, then it is very likely that superpartners will be produced at Fermilab. Second, once superpartners are found we will move to the next stage where we need to learn the implications of how supersymmetry is realized for the underlyi...
متن کاملAnomaly Mediated Susy Breaking from a String Theory Perspective
There has been much interest of late in contributions to soft supersymmetry-breaking parameters arising at one loop order from the superconformal anomaly of supergravity. If the superconformal anomaly is the sole contributor to soft supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking then the resulting soft Lagrangian shows a remarkable degree of insensitivity to highenergy physics, perhaps providing a resolution to...
متن کاملMechanisms of Supersymmetry Breaking in the Mssm
This will be a somewhat theoretical review of models and mechanisms for generating soft explicit supersymmetry breaking terms in the MSSM. There won’t be much signal phenomenology except in a few illustrative cases. Also, I shall be somewhat antihistorical in first talking about gauge mediation and then coming to gravity mediation since my subsequent topics, i.e. AMSB, gaugino mediation as well...
