Review of Monte Carlo event generators for signals of new particles at LEP2. The areas covered include SUSY, HIGGS and Leptoquarks.
We review the physics assumptions and input used in ISAJET~7.0 / ISA\-SUSY~1.0 that are relevant for simulating fundamental processes within the framework of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) at $p\bar p$ and $pp$ colliders. After a brief discussion of the underlying MSSM framework, we discuss event simulation and list the sparticle production processes and decay modes that have been incorporated into our calculations. We then describe how to set up and run an ISAJET / ISASUSY job and the user input and output formats. The ISAJET program is sufficiently flexible that some non-minimal supersymmetry scenarios may be simulated as well. Finally, plans for future upgrades which include the extension to $e^+ e^-$ collisions, are listed.
