Renormalization of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model

Abstract

The renormalization of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) is presented. We describe symmetry identities that constitute a framework in which the MSSM is completely characterized and renormalizability can be proven. Furthermore, we discuss applications of this framework for the determination of symmetry-restoring counterterms, the gauge dependence of tan(beta) and the derivation of non-renormalization theorems.Comment: Talk given by D.S. at the RADCOR/Loops and Legs in Quantum Field Theory 2002, September 8--13, Kloster Banz, Germany. 5 pages.
