Abstract

These lectures, given at the Cargese Summer school in 2008, provide an introduction to dynamical supersymmetry breaking and gauge mediation, with emphasis on the recent appreciation of the possible role of metastable supersymmetry breaking, and the evolving understanding of General Gauge Mediation. The underlying focus is on how supersymmetry might be realized at the Large Hadron Collider.
