Abstract
Supersymmetry (SUSY) is one of the most popular and well-motivated extension of the Standard Model, since it is able to solve many of its problems at once, while being based on a theoretically simple and beautiful idea. Via the introduction of an additional symmetry, SUSY connects bosons and fermions and proposes bosonic (fermionic) superpartners for Standard Model fermions (bosons), with otherwise identical charges and masses.

Notes
- 1.
No right-handed neutrinos are added.
- 2.
This is the case unless squarks are taken to be significantly heavier than \(1 \mathrm{\,TeV} \).
