International workshop on supersymmetry and supersymmetry breaking

20 Apr 2009, 11:00 → 24 Apr 2009, 16:00 Europe/London

The meeting will focus on new ideas in the field of supersymmetry breaking. Topics to be discussed include * Models of gauge mediation and direct mediation * Dynamical supersymmetry breaking * Seiberg duality, duality cascades and nonperturbative dynamics * R symmetry and its breaking * The mu and B mu problems * String theory realisations of supersymmetry breaking
