Has anyone a good link on a introduction to supersymmetry?

 

I don't have a great link, but if you are familiar with quantum field theory, Wess and Zumino's original paper is actually pretty readable and referenced. It works out some of the renormalization properties of a supersymmetric field theory.

 

For more of an overview, Zee has a quantum field theory book (Quantum Field Theory in a nutshell) that does a very brief overview on the basics. Volume 3 of Weinberg's field theory set is also good, though a bit hard to read.

Thanks erasmus, but is this article on some open archive on the net or do I have to go to the library?

 

Edit: is it this one?

WESS J, ZUMINO B. Supergauge transformations in four dimensions[J]. Nucl Phys, 1974, B70(1): 39-50.

Yep, thats the one I was thinking about.

 

There is also this one: Phys. Lett., B, v. 49B, no. 1, pp. 52-54

 

I think the papers are available online, but probably only if you have access to various archives. I can't find a free copy.
