Lectures on Physics Beyond the Standard Model

Abstract

We give a brief overview on the successes and theoretical problems of the Standard Model and discuss the basics of low-scale supersymmetry. We also address some of recent proposals for physics beyond the Standard Model and the connection to the production mechanisms for thermal dark matter.
