Testing Supersymmetry at the Next Linear Collider

Abstract

If new particles are discovered, it will be important to determine if they are the supersymmetric partners of standard model bosons and fermions. Supersymmetry predicts relations among the couplings and masses of these particles. We discuss the prospects for testing these relations at a future $e^+e^-$ linear collider with measurements that exploit the availability of polarized beams.
