  I provide a pedagogical introduction to supersymmetry. The level of
discussion is aimed at readers who are familiar with the Standard Model and
quantum field theory, but who have had little or no prior exposure to
supersymmetry. Topics covered include: motivations for supersymmetry, the
construction of supersymmetric Lagrangians, superspace and superfields, soft
supersymmetry-breaking interactions, the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model
(MSSM), R-parity and its consequences, the origins of supersymmetry breaking,
the mass spectrum of the MSSM, decays of supersymmetric particles, experimental
signals for supersymmetry, and some extensions of the minimal framework.
