Abstract:
After recalling the phenomenological motivations for supersymmetry at
the TeV scale, some of the possible experimental signatures will be
reviewed. The signature that is most often discussed is missing energy,
but a generic alternative is a massive, metastable charged particle
appearing in models where the lightest supersymmetric particle is a
gravitino. Benchmark models in both scenarios that are consistent with
all our theoretical, experimental and cosmological knowledge will be
presented and the prospects they offer for observing supersymmetry will
be discussed.
