New Probes of Supersymmetry Beyond the Minimal Framework

Abstract

If supersymmetry is discovered at future colliders, what can we learn? While our appreciation of the variety of possible supersymmetric models has grown tremendously in recent years, most attempts to answer this question have been in the context of some simple and highly restrictive framework, such as minimal supergravity. In this talk I describe new probes of phenomena that are generic in models beyond the minimal framework. These include tests of supersymmetric flavor and CP violation and probes of kinematically inaccessible superparticle sectors through ``super-oblique corrections.'' Such probes have wide applicability to distinguishing models, from gravity- and gauge-mediated theories to hybrid models and models with flavor symmetries. Examples of measurements at LEP II, the LHC, and the NLC are given.
