Description
We generate roughly 3000 MSSM models at random which are consistent with
all collider, rare process, and cosmological data. We first take note of
the properties of these models and compare them to the standard
well-studied collider benchmark SUSY points. We then examine their
signatures at the $\sqrt s=500$ GeV International Linear Collider with
$80\%$ electron beam polarization. We determine whether the production of
the various SUSY particles is visible above the Standard Model background
for each of these parameter space points, and make a detailed comparison of
their various signatures. Our analysis includes PYTHIA and CompHEP SUSY
signal generation, full matrix element SM backgrounds for all $2\to 2\,,
2\to 4$, and $2\to 6$ processes, ISR and beamstrahlung generated via
WHIZARD/GuineaPig, and employs the fast SiD detector simulation org.lcsim.
