Since the discovery of the Higgs particle, there has been more motivation to study new theories beyond standard model. In particular, there is interest in supersymmetry, as a candidate, to solve current problems in particle physics. Among several existing models, a useful phenomenological approach to supersymmetry and SUSY breaking is done using Wess-Zumino models, which serve to this purpose in the hidden sector. Furthermore, the supergravity (SUGRA) extension of these models is studied here by the introduction of the canonical Kähler potential. Also, the role of R-symmetry is presented through the Nelson-Seiberg theorem and its extensions, to present how SUSY breaking occurs by arrangement of R-charges and field counting.
