THE SEARCH FOR SUPERSYMMETRY: PROBING PHYSICS BEYOND THE STANDARD MODEL

THE SEARCH FOR SUPERSYMMETRY: PROBING PHYSICS BEYOND THE STANDARD MODEL

1985 | Howard E. HABER and G.L. KANE
The paper discusses the search for supersymmetry (SUSY) as a way to explore physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). It reviews the theoretical motivation for SUSY, its role in addressing issues like the Higgs mass divergence, and the experimental signatures that could indicate its existence. The authors emphasize that SUSY is a promising candidate for new physics, as it can naturally solve the hierarchy problem and provide a framework for understanding the Higgs sector. They also discuss the experimental constraints on SUSY particles, the possible ways to detect them, and the implications of their absence. The paper outlines the various SUSY particles, their interactions, and the challenges in detecting them, especially given their potential to be heavy or to decay into undetectable states. It also addresses the importance of R-parity in SUSY models and the implications of its violation. The authors conclude that SUSY is a key area of research for future experiments, as it could provide insights into the fundamental structure of nature. The paper is structured to provide a comprehensive overview for both experimentalists and theorists, with a focus on the experimental consequences of SUSY and the methods used to search for it.The paper discusses the search for supersymmetry (SUSY) as a way to explore physics beyond the Standard Model (SM).
