[PDF] Supersymmetric gauge field theory and string theory David Bailin, Alexander Love

Supersymmetry is of interest to high energy physicists because it provides both an elegant solution to the gauge hierarchy problem of grand unified theories and a consistent quantum theory of gravity. This introduction to the field is at a level suitable for postgraduate students of theoretical physics. Prior knowledge of quantum field theory is assumed. Emphasis is placed on explicit calculations and contact with phenomenology.
