This textbook provides a comprehensive and pedagogical introduction to supersymmetry and other aspects of particle physics at the high-energy frontier. Aimed at graduate students and researchers, it also discusses concepts of physics beyond the Standard Model, including extended Higgs sectors, grand unification, and the origin of neutrino masses.
