Supersymmetry

This chapter presents the motivations for low-energy supersymmetry, the construction of realistic models, the various schemes for generating soft terms (gravity mediation, gauge mediation, anomaly mediation, and gaugino mediation), their collider phenomenology, and their implications for dark matter. The subject is well established, and there are excellent reviews and textbooks that fully cover this material, to which the reader is directed for well-organized and exhaustive introductions to supersymmetry.
