Abstract

Provided SUSY is realized in Nature, future colliders like the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and a future e+e- linear collider (LC) will provide a wealth of data on SUSY phenomena. One important task will be to extract the Lagrangian parameters at the electroweak scale from the numerous measured observables and to extrapolate them to a high scale to check whether unification takes place or to learn about the SUSY breaking mechanism. To accomplish such a task, two new programs, SFITTER and Fittino, have recently been developed. This talk introduces both programs and presents first results obtained with them.
