Supersymmetry and the MSSM: An Elementary Introduction
by Ian J R Aitchison - arXiv.org , 2005
These notes are an expanded version of a short course of lectures given for graduate students in particle physics at Oxford. The level was intended to be appropriate for students in both experimental and theoretical particle physics.

Lectures on Supersymmetry Breaking
by Kenneth Intriligator, Nathan Seiberg - arXiv , 2007
We review the subject of spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. First we consider supersymmetry breaking in a semiclassical theory. We illustrate it with several examples, demonstrating different phenomena, including metastable supersymmetry breaking.

Introduction to Supersymmetry
by Neil Lambert - King's College London , 2011
Supersymmetry has been a very fruitful subject of research and has taught us a great deal about mathematics and quantum field theory. Hopefully this course will convince the student that supersymmetry is a beautiful and interesting subject.

Supersymmetry in Particle Physics: An Elementary Introduction
by Ian J. R. Aitchison - Cambridge University Press , 2007
Intended for graduate students in particle physics, and researchers in experimental and phenomenological supersymmetry, this is the first textbook to provide a simple introduction to a previously formidably technical field.

Elements of Supersymmetry
by Kevin Cahill - arXiv , 2001
These notes provide an introduction to supersymmetry. They begin with supersymmetric quantum mechanics and the basic properties of spinor fields. The supersymmetry of simple theories of spin-zero and spin-one-half fields is discussed...

Lectures on Supersymmetry
by Ivo Sachs - Trinity College Dublin , 2004
These notes are based on a number of graduate lectures. The aim is to provide a concise introduction to supersymmetry including some classic material such as the Coleman-Mandula theorem, supersymmetry algebra and non-renormalisation theorems.

Cambridge Lectures on Supersymmetry and Extra Dimensions
by S. Krippendorf, F. Quevedo, O. Schlotterer - arXiv , 2010
These lectures are aimed at finishing undergraduate and beginning postgraduate students. The text gives an introduction to supersymmetry in four spacetime dimensions, and extra dimensions which are combined with the concept of supersymmetry.

Introduction to Supersymmetry: Astrophysical and Phenomenological Constraints
by Keith A. Olive - arXiv , 1999
These lectures on supersymmetry contain a pedagogical description of supersymmetric theories and the minimal supersymmetric standard model. Phenomenological and cosmological consequences of supersymmetry are also discussed.

Introduction to Supersymmetry
by Adel Bilal - arXiv , 2001
The present introduction is elementary and pragmatic. The author discusses: spinors and the Poincar'e group, the susy algebra and susy multiplets, superfields and susy lagrangians, susy gauge theories, spontaneously broken susy, and more.

Quantization in Astrophysics, Brownian Motion, and Supersymmetry
by F. Smarandache, V. Christianto - MathTiger , 2007
The present book discusses, among other things, various quantization phenomena found in Astrophysics and some related issues including Brownian Motion. Most chapters in this book come from published papers in various peer-reviewed journals.

Superspace or One Thousand and One Lessons in Supersymmetry
by W. Siegel, at al. - arXiv , 2001
Supersymmetry is the supreme symmetry: It unifies spacetime symmetries with internal symmetries, fermions with bosons, and (local supersymmetry) gravity with matter. Under quite general assumptions it is the largest possible symmetry of the S-matrix.
