Wikipedia says: In particle physics, supersymmetry (often abbreviated SUSY) is a symmetry that relates elementary particles of one spin to other particles that differ by half a unit of spin and are

A question in four parts. What are the main problems which supersymmetry purports to solve? What would constitute lack of evidence for SUSY at the proposed LHC energy scales (e.g. certain predicted

In Strathdeee's "Extended Poincare Supersymmetry", the first entry on page 16 lists the massless multiplets of 6d $\\mathcal{N} = (1,0)$ supersymmetry as $2^2 = (2,1; 1) \\oplus (1,1; 2)$. This is th...

May 18, 2021 · 2 I'm attending a course on String Theory and AdS-CFT, and my university doesn't have a course dedicated to SUSY, so I only know the basics: for every bosonic field, there is a fermionic …

The SUSY commutes with the gauge charges in MSSM, so you would need a particle which is a SU (2) doublet, SU (3) singlet, and has weak hypercharge 1 (in the standard normalization of hypercharge).

In discussion of LHC searches for SUSY particles, physicists seem to assume they will decay quickly to the lightest SUSY particle which then remains stable (at least within the time it takes to lea...

May 14, 2020 · I am struggling to understand the argument for why the introduction of a stop in SUSY can solve the hierarchy problem. The quadratic divergence from the top loop in the higgs mass …

I have been thinking about the definition of the notation $\\cal N$ and its relation to the number of supercharges in SUSY, but still feel a little confused. In dimension 2, we usually denote, for e...

Jun 24, 2019 · Afaik susy is a different thing like pair production or annihillation. The important thing is that we have conserved quantities, and the probability amplitudes of the possible futures are the …

Jul 4, 2020 · In 4D, we can have an axion mechanism. We have the axion-gauge coupling $\int d^4x\, d^2\theta \, \Phi W^\alpha W_\alpha$. But there are no gauge or gravitational anomalies in MSSM!
