I plan to discuss in a series of (informal) 'lectures' the necessary ingredients of supersymmetric extensions of the standard model and their technical implementations in SUSY-spectrum calculation codes. Lecture 2: -Basics of renormalization group (RG) techniques; -The RGE within the MSSM: linking grand unification scale with electroweak scale; -Electroweak symmetry breaking issues in MSSM; -Technical implementation in SUSY-spectrum codes (example of 'SuSpect') -Some concrete applications of SUSY-RGE codes: constraining SUSY model parameter space, 'top-down' versus 'bottom-up' reconstruction of parameters, etc. (this last topic may become a 3rd lecture on Wed...) NB: discussion session at 14:00
