Preface
This review represents itself as a collection of lecture notes on superfield
supersymmetry based on lectures given at Instituto de Física, Universidade de São
Paulo (São Paulo), Instituto de Física, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul
(Porto Alegre), and Departamento de Física, Universidade Federal da Paraiba (João
Pessoa). The book includes many examples of explicit quantum calculations
performed with use of the superfield formalism and is intended for students at
levels of undergraduate and graduate studies in quantum field theory and theory of
elementary particles and for researchers working in related subjects.
