Abstract
The physics of supersymmetry is reviewed from the perspective of physics at ever increasing energies. Starting from the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model at the electroweak scale, we proceed to higher energies seeking to understand the origin of the many model parameters. Supersymmetric grand unification, supergravity, and superstrings are introduced sequentially, and their contribution to the sought explanations is discussed. Typical low-energy supersymmetric models are also presented, along with their possible experimental consequences via direct and indirect processes at high-energy physics experimental facilities.
