In this talk, I review precision SUSY study at LHC and TeV scale e+e- linear colliders (LC). We discuss the study of the 3 body decay of the second lightest neutralino \chi^0_2--> \chi^0_1 ll or the 2 body decay \chi^0_2-->\tilde{l}l at…

In supersymmetric models with R-parity violation, sneutrinos may be produced as s-channel resonances at muon colliders. We demonstrate that, for R-parity violating couplings as low as 10^-4, sneutrino resonances may be observed and may be…

Supersymmetric theories generally have new flavor and CP violation sources in the squark and slepton mass matrices. They will contribute to the lepton flavor violation processes, such as $\mu \to e \gamma$, which can be probed far below the…

We emphasize that the stabilizing symmetry for dark matter (DM) particles does not have to be the commonly used parity (Z_2) symmetry. We therefore examine the potential of the colliders to distinguish models with parity stabilized DM from…
