Constraining Supersymmetric Models Using Higgs Physics, Precision Observables and Direct Searches /

This thesis analyses how supersymmetric (SUSY) extensions of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics can be constrained using information from Higgs physics, electroweak precision observables and direct searches for new particles. Direct searches for SUSY particles at the LHC have not resulted i...
