Some theories of particle physics are so compelling that it is worth doing a comprehensive and systematic set of experimental searches to see if they are realized in nature. Supersymmetry is one such theory. This review focuses on the…

We study the pair production of right selectrons at a 500 GeV $e^-e^-$ collider followed by their decay into an electron and a lightest neutralino. This lightest neutralino decays into multifermion final states in the presence of…
Polarization of both electron and positron beams at a future linear collider (LC) allows for the measurement of transverse polarization asymmetries. These asymmetries have been shown to be particularly sensitive to graviton or other spin-2,…
We study the production processes e^+ e^- -> chi^+_i chi^-_j, i,j=1,2, and e^+ e^- -> chi^0_m chi^0_n, m,n=1,...,4, working out the advantages of polarizing both beams. For e^+ e^- -> chi^+_1 chi^-_1 with chi^-_1 -> chi^0_1 e^- nu and e^+…
We investigate the production of charginos and neutralinos at a 500 GeV e^+e^- collider (NLC) and study their decays to the lightest neutralino, which then decays into multi-fermion final states through couplings which do not conserve…
Supersymmetry, a new symmetry that relates bosons and fermions in particle physics, still escapes observation. Search for supersymmetry is one of the main aims of the Large Hadron Collider. The other possible manifestation of supersymmetry…

Charginos $\chi_1^\pm$ are expected to be the lightest observable supersymmetric particles in many supersymmetric models. We present a procedure which will allow to determine the chargino mixing angles and, subsequently, the fundamental…
