内容简介
《粒子物理学中的超对称》内容简介：This book is intended to be an elementary and practical introduction to supersymmetry in particle physics. More precisely, I aim to provide an accessible, self-contained account of the basic theory required for a working understanding of the ''Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model'' (MSSM), including ''soft'' symmetry breaking.Some simple phenomenological applications of the model are also developed in the later chapters.
