Lectures in course PHYS-817: Supersymmetry

Supersymmetry: Motivations and Concrete Applications

Explores the motivations and applications of supersymmetry, including string theory and flavor symmetries, culminating in the Coleman-Mandula theorem.

Supersymmetry: Massless Multiplets and Chiral Multiplets

Explores massless and chiral multiplets in supersymmetry, quantum field algebra, and superspace structure.

Supersymmetry: Lagrangians and Renormalizable Theories

Covers the basics of supersymmetry, Lagrangians, and renormalizable theories.

Supersymmetry: Lecture 4

Discusses supersymmetry gauge, superfields, anomalous terms, and flat directions in 4D space.

Supersymmetry: Lecture 5

Explores supersymmetry breaking, Goldstinos, Nambu-Goldstone theorem, and mediation implications in the MSSM.

Supersymmetry: Soft Terms and EW Symmetry Breaking

Covers soft terms, A-terms, and EW symmetry breaking in supersymmetry.

Supersymmetry: Required SUSY Mass and Higgs Quartic Corrections

Covers the required SUSY mass for a 125 GeV Higgs boson and 1-loop corrections at the LHC, as well as gauge coupling unification and flavor violation.
