TASI 2011 lectures notes: two-component fermion notation and supersymmetry

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2022-05-27 v2

Abstract

These notes, based on work with Herbi Dreiner and Howie Haber, discuss how to do practical calculations of cross sections and decay rates using two-component fermion notation, as appropriate for supersymmetry and other beyond-the-Standard-Model theories. Included are a list of two-component fermion Feynman rules for the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, and some example calculations.
