【 摘 要 】

In this dissertation, we will cover aspects of the phenomenology of supersymmetric models, with an emphasis on models with heavier scalar partners of Standard Model fermions. We first introduce the Standard Model, providing explanations for why it should be extended by Supersymmetry. We also provide an introduction to general aspects of supersymmetric models, making use not only of bottom-up phenomenological constraints, but also top-down theoretical insight from String/M-Theory compactifications. In the body of this dissertation, we study in detail the phenomenology of supersymmetric models with heavier scalars at current and future colliders, as well as in low-energy flavor experiments in both the absence and the presence of CP violation. Finally, we discuss general implications of String theory for dark matter in supersymmetric models, as well as the dynamics of Grand Unified Theories in a broad class of models.
