Why Supersymmetry?

Ғылым және технология

Fermilab's Dr. Don Lincoln explains some of the reasons that physicists are so interested in supersymmetry. Supersymmetry can explain the low mass of the Higgs boson, provide a source of dark matter, and make it more likely that the known subatomic forces are really different facets of a single, common, force.

    Sorry... accountant/auditor asking a physics question.. Please pardon my ignorance.. With the particle accelerators, I understand that there are various sensors in place to capture the effects of collisions. How do scientists get comfort over the fact that all sensors that need to be used, are being used? That is, what if there are particles that don't interact with the sensors but result out of the collisions and are not being observed / sensed because we haven't thought of putting in a sensor for that specific particle?

    UltimateHandler They usually don't try to detect the particle directly, but rather detect what those particles will decay into in it's very brief existence. For doing so they first need a theory that will tell them how the particle they are looking for will decay, remember that this is necessary as those exotic particles, like the Higgs Boson and mesons and stuff like that, have a very short life time because of the energy levels that are required for their existence, so they readily decay after the collision of the atoms. With the theories we can test them to see which theory correctly foretells what the measurements are. Even if no theory can account for the observed results that is a very good thing, that tells that we may have physics beyond what we know yet. As for the Higgs Boson confirmation it was a really good confirmation of our theories but also a bucket of cold water as it was so precisely predicted and measured that we are like 95% sure that even with that discovery we won't be able to push our current theories further, to any branch, like the one in this video, Super Symmetry. Just to clarify, we hand't detected the Higgs Boson itself, but rather the particles that it would decay into when the energy levels for its creation had been reached, and as our theories had predicted that it would decay in the exact way we've seen after some millions repetitions of the experiment we were sure of the result and confirmed that it was really a Boson Higgs decaying.

    +UltimateHandler Actually this happens a lot. The collisions are usually scheduled to happen in one of certain places of the accelerator, where detectors are placed. These detectors are huge machines and contain a whole battery of measurement devices. There are in principle only 4 (3) ways a particle can interact with it's environment: weak and strong force, electromagnetic force and gravity, although the later doesn't really count due to it's low strength. So you construct your detectors to detect special kinds of interactions (depending on which kind of particle you expect to be engaging with). Nonetheless are some particles more difficult to detect than others, like the neutrino(s). But you don't always need to directly measure these particles. As Doppelganger explained, such particles might decay or interact with other particles, which may be detected. Actually that's what interpreting the data from detectors is mostly about: identifying: what the heck is going on there ? But you'll surely still miss some particles. But then you still have other ways to indirectly identify those particles: if things don't add up. E.g. if there is energy missing / getting lost, you KNOW there needs to be particle (as otherwise the law of energy conservation would be violated), or if the angles of a reaction are are not right (as otherwise the law of conservation of momentum would be violated). Actually the last one was how the neutrino was identified (a notoriously difficult to identify particle as it only interacts through the weak force (well and gravity),.

    From what I've read, it is expected that some superpartners have masses in the levels of GeV. So that should be the necessary energy. It is entirely possible for it to be greater, in the TeV levels, but the Higgs Boson mass would have to be explained with new physics.

    Felipe Lorenzzon My understanding is that the Electroweak force is only observed at high energies, in which the spontaneous breaking of the EW symmetry disappears, the Higgs field no longer causes the Z and W bosons to have mass, and they become massless bosons indistinguishable from the photon. These massless bosons (that include what would be photons, z bosons, or the two w bosons at lower energies) are what mediate the Electroweak force.

    Isn’t the Higgs boson and its field a good candidate to test supersymmetry? The Higgs boson gives other objects mass. Gravity is proportional to the mass of two interacting objects following Newton. Gravity is maybe a force so this could be example of {force equation (gravity)} = {particle equation (Higgs boson)} given by the definition of supersymmetry. At least according to Newton’s formulation gravity is force. This is in contrast to the curved spacetime of Einstein’s general relativity. Understanding quantum gravity better could resolve whether gravity is force and would decide whether this works.

Better, one entity manifesting itself as force or matter. But even then, we'll keep asking ourselves why one!!!

If enough tests support your hypothesis and none invalidate it, you can start taking it seriously, until then all you have is an idea.

    That's not entirely true. Supersymmetric theories predict certain properties of particles (e.g. electric dipole moment of the electron, or proton decay), and some versions of supersymmetry are ruled out by experiment. (We don't have positive evidence of either the electric dipole moment or proton decay; we only have experimental limits.)
