Watch on YouTubeTheorists have predicted that spectacular signals of supersymmetry should be visible at the LHC.
- Theorists have predicted that spectacular signals of supersymmetry should be visible at the LHC.
- Some of these people say, oh, OK, but we'll spontaneously break supersymmetry.
- So the original motivation beyond dark matter is supersymmetry.
- It turns out that if you include the distortions due to the new particles you need, you introduce with supersymmetry, then it all works.
- This this version of the string which had fermions had an extra symmetry, which we call supersymmetry.
- So look, the cosmological constant, the axion supersymmetry.
Examples
-
We eagerly await the experimental discovery of the signs of spontaneously broken supersymmetry at the next generation of particle accelerators.
Academic text (1995) -
Supersymmetry could solve several of the standard model's problems and provide a plausible dark-matter particle.
Academic text (2012) -
So the Standard Model by itself is not natural, but if you add supersymmetry to it, it works.
-
So we like supersymmetry, another possible theory.
-
I think the chance of having supersymmetry without WIMP-based dark matter is close to zero.

Supersymmetry is a symmetry, a principle added to the list of conditions we expect from models.

Supersymmetry (SUSY for short) is the best candidate theory to solve the hierarchy problem.
Blog text (33) -
Indeed, the popular hypothesis in particle physics called supersymmetry predicts that every known lepton has a partner with spin 0.
Academic text (1997) -
Foremost among these is supersymmetry, a profound and beautiful extension of the geometric symmetries of space-time to include symmetries generated by fermionic (anticommuting) charges.
Academic text (1995) -
In a proposed theory known as supersymmetry, every known elementary particle has a heavier, as yet undiscovered counterpart.

Etymology
The word supersymmetry comes from super- ('above' or 'extra') and symmetry ('balanced' or 'matching'). So it names an idea in physics about an extra kind of balance where every particle has a matching 'super' partner.
