Abstract
The "Snowmass Points and Slopes" (SPS) are a set of benchmark points
and parameter lines in the MSSM parameter space
corresponding to different scenarios in the search
for Supersymmetry at present and future experiments. This set of
benchmarks was agreed upon at the 2001 "Snowmass Workshop on the Future of
Particle Physics" as a consensus based on different existing proposals.
