(ed.), 1998, Perspectives on Supersymmetry, World Scientific, Singapore, 1998. For the experimental situation see the chapter by Carena et al. It is possible to write more complicated versions of supersymmetry - for example, in this review we are assuming there is a conserved quantum number distinguishing SM particles and superpartners called R-parity; the chapter by H. Dreiner describes the theory if R-parity is not conserved. For a study of the potential of the upgraded Fermilab collider to detect superpartners and Higgs bosons, see the report of the Run II Working Group, ed. J. Lykken, in press.
