Description
The ongoing quest for finding what exists beyond the Standard Model of particle physics is driven by many of the observed phenomena like the dark matter, the origin of neutrino masses or the origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the early universe. One of the most elegant extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics is Supersymmetry. It is theoretically well motivated and provides solutions to many of the puzzles in particle physics like the dark matter. Search for Supersymmetry is ongoing on the earth via looking for signals of new particles at colliders like the Large Hadron Collider and in the sky via finding the properties of dark matter with direct and indirect dark matter detection experiments like Xenon and CDMS. In this talk, I give an overview of the status of Supersymmetry in the light of current astrophysical and collider experiments.
