Report of the Supersymmetry Theory Subgroup

We provide a mini-guide to some of the possible manifestations of weak-scale supersymmetry. For each of six scenarios we provide ffl a brief description of the theoretical underpinnings, ffl the adjustable parameters, ffl a qualitative description of the associated phenomenology at future colliders, ffl comments on how to simulate each scenario with existing event generators. I. Introduction The Standard Model (SM) is a theory of spin- 1 2 matter fermions which interact via the exchange of spin-1 gauge bosons, where the bosons and fermions live in independent representations of the gauge symmetries. Supersymmetry (SUSY) is a symmetry which establishes a one-to-one correspondence between bosonic and fermionic degrees of freedom, and provides a relation between their couplings [1]. Relativistic quantum field theory is formulated to be consistent with the symmetries of the Lorentz/Poincare group -- a non-compact Lie algebra. Mathematically, supersymmetry is formulated as a generali..
