Supersymmetry Beyond Minimality

<p>Supersymmetry (SUSY) is one of the most important ideas ever conceived in particle physics. It is a symmetry that relates known elementary particles of a certain spin to as yet undiscovered particles that differ by half a unit of that spin (known as Superparticles). Supersymmetric models now stand as the most promising candidates for a unified theory beyond the Standard Model (SM). </p><p></p><p>SUSY is an elegant and simple theory but its existence lacks direct proof. Instead of dismissing supersymmetry altogether <i>Supersymmetry Beyond Minimality: from Theory to Experiment</i> suggests that SUSY may exist in more complex and subtle manifestation than the minimal model. </p><p></p><p>The book explores in detail non-minimal SUSY 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 Superparticle sectors and explains both collider and non-collider experiments. Uniquely the book explores charge/parity and lepton flavour violation.</p><p></p><p>Supersymmetry Beyond Minimality: from Theory to Experiment provides an introduction to well-motivated examples of such non-minimal SUSY models including the ingredients for generating neutrino masses and/or relaxing the tension with the heavily constraining Large Hadron Collider (LHC) data. Examples of these scenarios are explored in depth in particular the discussions on Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric SM (NMSSM) and B-L Supersymmetric SM (BLSSM).</p>
