Supersymmetry at the Tevatron ?

Abstract

These lectures contain an introduction to the search for supersymmetry at hadron colliders. The Tevatron is one of high-energy physics most sophisticated tools. The high center-of-mass energy of its proton-antiproton collisions makes it an ideal place to search for physics beyond the Standard Model, such as supersymmetry. Two experiments, CDF and D\O, completed a long data taking period in summer of 1995, yielding over $100 p b^{-1}$ of proton-- antiproton interactions. The data recorded by the experiments are still being analysed. The lectures outline the strategies in the search for supersymmetry at the Tevatron and examine the major analyses in detail. Results obtained by the two experiments are included where available.
