Supersymmetry Signatures at the CERN LHC
arXiv:hep-ph/9801254
Abstract
These lectures, given at the 1997 TASI Summer School, describe the prospects for discovering supersymmetry (SUSY) and for studying its properties at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. If SUSY exists at a mass scale less than 1--2 TeV, then it should be easy to observe characteristic deviations from the Standard Model at the LHC. It is more difficult to determine SUSY masses because in most models there are two missing particles \tildeχ_1^0 in every event. However, it is possible to use various kinematic distributions to make precision measurements of combinations of SUSY masses and other quantities related to SUSY physics. In favorable cases such measurements at the LHC can determine the parameters of the underlying SUSY model with good accuracy.
