Description

In this talk, I review the present status of the event generator ISAJET for simulating weak scale supersymmetry at collider experiments. I note especially the recent ISAJET 7.29 upgrade that allows the large tan β region of SUSY parameter space to be explored. I also discuss promising signatures for the minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) model at LEP2, the Tevatron and upgrades, the CERN LHC pp collider, and the NLC, a future e+e- linear collider. In addition, I comment upon recent work on restrictions on the mSUGRA model from i.) b→sγ decays, and ii.) the relic density of neutralinos. I finally point out how direct detection of SUSY dark matter can be very much complementary to collider searches: for large tan β, where collider searches are most difficult, direct detection experiments are most promising.
