Or if such particles, known
as superpartners, do exist, they're not what physicists expected.
Not exact matches
If supersymmetry is right, every known fermion has a yet - to - be-observed bosonic «
superpartner,» and every known boson, likewise, has an
as - yet - unseen fermionic
superpartner.
To fix this, theorists have introduced the concept of supersymmetry, in which each matter particle, known
as a fermion, and each force particle, known
as a boson, have large - mass counterparts, called
superpartners.
SUPERSYMMETRY PREDICTION In «Supersymmetry and the Crisis in Physics,» Joseph Lykken and Maria Spiropulu discuss hopes that evidence of supersymmetry, which proposes that all known particles have hidden
superpartners, will be found at CERN's Large Hadron Collider within a year's time — and the effects on physics
as a whole if it is not.
Such particles could be the «
superpartners» of existing particles,
as predicted by a theory known
as supersymmetry, which seeks to unite all of the fundamental forces of physics, except gravity.
