Weak Scale Supersymmetry - From Superfields to Scattering Events

This 2006 text develops the basic concepts of supersymmetry and shows how it can be incorporated into a theoretical framework for describing unified theories of elementary particles, for experimental and phenomenological particle physicists and graduate students. It has been reissued as an Open Access publication on Cambridge Core.
