Abstract

We give an introduction to N = 1 supersymmetry and supergravity and review the attempts to construct models in which the breakdown scale of the weak interactions is related to supersymmetry breaking. Special emphasis is put on the discussion of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model of strong and electroweak forces. Grand unified models are analyzed in their supersymmetric and nonsupersymmetric versions.
