These lectures are a brief introduction to supersymmetry.
The topic of 4D, N = 1 supersymmetry is introduced for the reader with a prior background in relativistic quantum field theory. The presentation is designed to be a useful primer for those who plan to later engage in serious investigation…
These lectures contain an introduction to supersymmetric theories and the minimal supersymmetric standard model. Phenomenological and cosmological consequences of supersymmetry are also discussed.
This paper is a collection of lecture notes on the superfield approach in three- and four-dimensional supersymmetric quantum field theory. Many examples of the applications of this approach to different superfield models are considered.
