Supergravity grand unified models or SUGRA models are
currently the leading candidates for new physics beyond
the Standard Model. This volume is a collection of
papers presented at the conference "Twenty Years of
SUGRA, Search for SUSY and Unification", held March
17-21, 2003 to celebrate the twentieth year since the
invention of SUGRA models. The host of the conference
was appropriately Northeastern University which was the
birth place of supergravity grand unified models in
1982. Tne invention of SUGRA models was a watershed
event in the development of supersymmetry phenomenology
and their invention spurred an unprecedented activity in
developments related to the search for supersymmetry,
search for unification and research in exploring the
connection between SUGRA and string theory. The
predictions of SUGRA models and specifically its minimal
version mSUGRA will be tested at the future collider
experiments, i.e., at the Fermilab Tevatron and at the
Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, Geneva,
Switzerland. Remarkably SUGRA, mSUGRA also predict just
the right amount of dark matter consistent with the
recent data from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy
Probe (WMAP) and also predict that such dark matter
could be detected in the current and the future dark
matter detectors. These issues were covered in depth at
SUGRA20 and are the main theme of the collection of
papers in this volume.
