Supersymmetry represents the culmination of the search for
fundamental symmetries that has dominated particle physics for 50
years. Traditionally, the constituents of matter (fermions) were
regarded as different from the particles (bosons) transmitting the
forces between them. In supersymmetry, fermions and bosons are
unified. Intended for graduate students in particle physics, and
researchers in experimental and phenomenological supersymmetry,
this textbook, first published in 2007, provides a simple
introduction to a previously formidably technical field. Its
elementary, practical treatment brings readers to the frontier of
contemporary research, in particular the experiments at the Large
Hadron Collider. Theories are constructed through an intuitive
'trial and error' approach. Basic elements of spinor formalism and
superfields are introduced, allowing readers to access more
advanced treatments. Emphasis is placed on physical understanding,
and on detailed derivations of important steps. Many short
exercises are included, making for a valuable and accessible
self-study tool.
