Supersymmetry represents the culmination of the search for fundamental symmetries that has dominated particle physics for 50 years. Traditionally, the constitue

Supersymmetry (SUSY) is one of the most important ideas ever conceived in particle physics. It is a symmetry that relates known elementary particles of a certai

This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the ideas and applications of supersymmetry.

This OA text develops the basic concepts of supersymmetry for experimental and phenomenological particle physicists and graduate students.

The idea of supersymmetry was originally introduced in relativistic quantum field theories as a generalization of Poincare symmetry. In 1976 Nicolai sug gested
