  We present a pedagogical, but by no means complete, review of weak scale
supersymmetry phenomenology. After a general introduction to the new particles
that must be present in any supersymmetric framework, we describe how to write
down their interactions with one another as well as with the particles of the
Standard Model. We then elucidate the assumptions underlying the Minimal
Supersymmetric Model as well as the more restrictive minimal supergravity GUT
model with the radiative breaking of electroweak symmetry. These models serve
to guide our thinking about the implications of supersymmetry for experiments.
To facilitate our study of signatures of supersymmetric particles at high
energy colliders, we describe the decay patterns of sparticles as well as their
production mechanisms in $e^+e^-$ and hadron-hadron collisions. We then discuss
how sparticles may be searched for in on-going experiments at the Tevatron and
at LEP. We review phenomenological constraints on supersymmetric particle
masses from non-observation of any signals in these experiments, and also
briefly discuss constraints from low energy experiments and from cosmology.
Next, we study new strategies by which supersymmetric particles may be searched
for at supercolliders, and also what we can learn about their properties
(masses, spins, couplings) in these experiments. A determination of sparticle
properties, we will see, may provide us with clues about the nature of physics
at the ultra-high scale. After a brief discussion of possible extensions of the
minimal framework and the implications for phenomenology, we conclude with our
outlook for the future.
