Some Recent Results from the Generic Supersymmetric Standard Model

The generic supersymmetric standard model is a model built from a supersymmetrized standard model field spectrum the gauge symmetries only. The popular minimal supersymmetric standard model differs from the generic version in having R-parity imposed by hand. We review an efficient formulation of the model and some of the recently obtained interesting phenomenological features. The latter includes R-parity violating contributions to scalar masses that had been largely overlooked and the related contributions to fermion electric dipole moments and $\mu \to e \gamma$.
