An Introduction to Supersymmetry
نویسنده
چکیده
A fairly elementary introduction to supersymmetric field theories in general and the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) in particular is given. Topics covered include the cancellation of quadratic divergencies, the construction of the supersymmetric Lagrangian using superfields, the field content of the MSSM, electroweak symmetry breaking in the MSSM, mixing between different superparticles (current eigenstates) to produce mass eigenstates, and the embedding of the MSSM in so–called minimal supergravity.

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...

These lectures give an introduction to the problem of finding a realistic and natural extension of the standard model based on spontaneously broken supersymmetry. Topics discussed at some length include the effective field theory paradigm, coupling constants as superfield spurions, gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking, and anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking, including an extensive introdu...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Dynamical Supersymmetry Breaking
We present an introduction to dynamical supersymmetry breaking, highlighting its phenomenological significance in the context of 4D field theories. Observations concerning the conditions for supersymmetry breaking are studied. Holomorphy and duality are shown to be key ideas behind dynamical mechanisms for supersymmetry breaking, with attention paid to supersymmetric QCD. Towards the end we dis...
