Low-Energy Supersymmetry and its Phenomenology
نویسنده
چکیده
The structure of low-energy supersymmetric models of fundamental particles and interactions is reviewed, with an emphasis on the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) and some of its variants. Various approaches to the supersymmetry-breaking mechanism are considered. The implications for the phenomenology of Higgs bosons and supersymmetric particles at future colliders are discussed.

The Role of Supersymmetry Phenomenology in Particle Physics
Supersymmetry phenomenology is an important component of particle physics today. I provide a definition of supersymmetry phenomenology, outline the scope of its activity, and argue its legitimacy. This essay derives from a presentation given at the 2000 SLAC Summer Institute. Supported in part by the Department of Energy and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation c © 2000 by James D. Wells.
متن کاملTASI Lectures on M Theory Phenomenology
These lectures discuss some of the general issues in developing a phenomenology for Superstring Theory/M Theory. The focus is on the question: how might one obtain robust, generic predictions. For example, does the theory predict low energy supersymmetry breaking? In the course of these explorations, basics of supersymmetry and supersymmetry breaking, string moduli, cosmological issues, and oth...
متن کاملTopics in String Phenomenology
We consider two questions in string “phenomenology.” First, are there any generic string predictions? Second, are there any general lessons which string theory suggests for thinking about low energy models, particularly in the framework of supersymmetry? Among the topics we consider are the squark and slepton spectrum, flavor symmetries, discrete symmetries including CP , and Peccei-Quinn symme...
متن کاملSearching for Low-energy Supersymmetry A
A review of supersymmetry theory and phenomenology is presented. Topics discussed include: gravity-mediated (SUGRA) and gauge-mediated (GMSB) super-symmetry breaking models; an overview of non-universal soft-supersymmetry-breaking masses and the resulting experimental implications; the phenomenology of and constraints on the possibility that a massive gluino is the lightest supersym-metric part...
متن کاملAnomaly Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking without R – Parity
We analyze the low energy features of a supersymmetric standard model where the anomaly–induced contributions to the soft parameters are dominant in a scenario with bilinear R–parity violation. This class of models leads to mixings between the standard model particles and supersymmetric ones which change the low energy phenomenology and searches for supersymmetry. In addition, R–parity violatio...
