Notes

  1. 1.

    The representation here is the so-called \(N=1\) supersymmetry, see for example [1].

  2. 2.

    For the name of flavored squarks, we omit the word quark (that is stop instead of stop quark or top squark). The same holds for the word boson.

  3. 3.

    This parameter should not be confused with the Higgs mass parameter from the SM, Eq. (1.11).

  4. 4.

    The observation of a Higgs-like boson with \(M(h) \simeq 125\,\text {GeV} \) raises the so-called little hierarchy problem, as large stop masses are required for the Higgs boson acquiring this mass. A fine-tuning of 1–\(10\,\%\) is needed [17, 18].
