  • He is one of the pioneers of the Superstring Theory and has also been much involved in supersymmetric quantum field theories.

  • Something else is out there, an invisible form of matter - called "dark matter"; subatomic entities called supersymmetric particles are a favourite candidate to account for this.

  • Researchers failed to find evidence of so-called "supersymmetric" particles, which many physicists had hoped would plug holes in the current theory.

  • Hidden photons are a class of particles predicted by so-called supersymmetric extensions to the standard model of particle physics.

  • They also appear to have the same strength at very high energies, especially if 'supersymmetric' particles exist.

  • However, keen amateur LHC-watching enthusiasts, familiar with the many internal websites used to run and monitor the mighty Collider, stumbled across imagery last night confirming that a "supersymmetric" event had taken place following a particle collision inside the huge, subterranean ATLAS instrument cavern.

  • This is a different approach, since dark matter is assumed to be heavy 'supersymmetric' particles that are very weakly interacting.

  • The first process is much like in the AdS/CFT duality in string theory, where a 4D field theory (like QCD) is equivalent to a 5D supersymmetric gravity theory on AdS space: one is easier to solve for short distances; the other is easier to solve for long distances.

  • [MK] I personally expect that the LHC will reveal some kind of new physics, most likely the so-called supersymmetric theory.

  • Its extensions, such as the Minimal Supersymmetry Models, predict the existence of sparticles, supersymmetric partners of the familiar particles.
