Sumario:We contrast the sparticle spectra obtained from three modern publicly available codes along model lines in minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) parameter space. From this we gain an idea of the uncertainties involved with sparticle spectra calculations. The differences in predicted sparticle masses are typically at the several percent-level. In the focus-point scenario, there are differences of 30% in the weak gaugino masses. These uncertainties need to be reduced in order to obtain accurate information about fundamental models of supersymmetry breaking.
