Abstract
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is pushing the boundaries of the Standard Model of particle physics. Quantum corrections push the mass of the Higgs to be very heavy; If the hints of the Higgs boson now seen at the LHC are in fact the Higgs, the lightness of the Higgs boson must be explained. Supersymmetry provides a natural explanation for the Higgs mass. This thesis discusses two aspects in Supersymmetric theories, how to build them and how to see them.
