Supersymmetry beyond minimality: from theory to experiment

"Supersymmetry is an elegant and simple theory, but its existence lacks direct proof. Instead of dismissing supersymmetry altogether, Supersymmetry Beyond Minimality: from Theory to Experiment suggests that supersymmetry may exist in more complex and subtle interactions above the minimal model. The book explores in detail non-minimal supersymmetry models, in a bottom-up approach that interconnects experimental phenomena in the fermionic and bosonic sectors. The book considers with equal emphasis the Higgs and particle sectors, and explains both collider and non-collider experiments. Uniquely, the book explores charge/parity and lepton flavour violation. Graduate students and researchers of high energy particle physics will find this book an invaluable reference at a time when many of the tenets of Supersymmetry are being thrown into question by new research. These alternative realizations of Supersymmetry make a strong argument that further research could yet shed light on the usefulness of this theory"--
