Today's anagram of Stephen Patrick Martin is: Trick, then trap, I'm Snape.

Spring 2012 class: Physics 370 Electricity and Magnetism I

My research publications from inSPIRE.

"A Supersymmetry Primer" is my pedagogical introduction to supersymmetry. picture Version 6 (released on September 6, 2011) includes a new chapter on superspace and superfields, and many other updates.

The notes for my TASI 2011 blackboard lectures on supersymmetry are here. Also available: the slides for various lectures that I've given on supersymmetry at the 2010 PreSUSY summer school, and the 2008 CERN/Fermilab Hadron Collider Physics Summer School, and the 2005 ICTP Summer School on Particle Physics.

TSIL is a computer program I wrote with Dave Robertson for the numerical computation of 2-loop self-energy integrals with arbitrary masses and external momentum. A sample application, gluinopole, computes the two-loop pole mass of the gluino in minimal supersymmetry.

Here is the web page (including errata, and a version with the -+++ metric) for the review paper 0812.1594 , "Two-component spinor techniques and Feynman rules for quantum field theory and supersymmetry", by Herbi K. Dreiner, Howard E. Haber, and me. The current v5 is very close to the one published in Physics Reports.

Other classes I have previously taught at NIU:

Physics 470/570 Electricity and Magnetism II (Fall 2010)

Physics 485/585 Methods of Mathematical Physics II (Spring 2003)

Physics 661 Quantum Mechanics II (Spring 2009)

Physics 686 Phenomenology of Particle Physics (Spring 2011)

Physics 751 General Relativity (Fall 2011)

Physics 786 Gauge Theories and Supersymmetry (Spring 2004)
