Abstract

The solution of a fine tuning problem is one of the principal motivations of Supersymmetry. However experimental constraints indicate that, many Supersymmetric models are also fine tuned (although to a much lesser extent). We review the traditional measure of this fine tuning used in the literature and propose an alternative. We apply this to the MSSM and show the implications.
