"A Supersymmetry Primer"
is my free introduction to supersymmetry. Some pedagogical summer school lectures I've given: slides for the Introduction to Supersymmetry lectures at the pre-SUSY International School 2023 and notes for my TASI 2011 lectures on two-component fermions and supersymmetry. TSIL (Two-loop Self-energy Integral Library) and 3VIL (3-loop Vacuum Integral Library) are computer program libraries that and I wrote and maintain. They perform the numerical computation of Feynman integrals for, respectively, 2-loop self-energy and 3-loop vacuum diagrams, with arbitrary masses. TSIL is based on the papers and , while 3VIL is based on . SMDR (Standard Model in Dimensional Regularization) is a computer program library for calculations in the tadpole-free pure MSbar scheme in the Standard Model of particle physics. This means that it treats the MSbar Lagrangian parameters as the fundamental inputs, and the Higgs vacuum expectation value (VEV) is defined as the minimum of the Landau gauge effective potential, so that tadpole diagrams vanish. SMDR computes the state-of-the-art multi-loop relations between the MSbar inputs and the on-shell observables to which they most closely correspond. It also includes all known contributions to renormalization group equations and threshold matching relations for the gauge couplings, fermion masses and Yukawa couplings. SMDR was also written with Dave Robertson, and is an application of TSIL and 3VIL. The paper announcing SMDR is available from the arXiv.org preprint archive as . Another application of TSIL is the 2-loop SUSYQCD contributions to the gluino and squark pole masses, recently implemented in by Ben Allanach, Dave Robertson, Roberto Ruiz de Austri, and me. For a description of this, see the manual: . Here is the web page (including errata, and a version with the -+++ metric) for the review paper , "Two-component spinor techniques and Feynman rules for quantum field theory and supersymmetry", by Herbi K. Dreiner, Howard E. Haber, and me. The current v5 is very close to the one published in Physics Reports.
