Sentences with word «superpartner»

My generation has imagined new things called superpartners, new forms of matter and energy.

Most such particles would have disintegrated in the universe's earliest moments, but the lightest remaining superpartner should still be around in large quantities, accounting for the dark matter.

When I was a graduate student 27 years ago, Einstein's use of imagination inspired me to write the first Ph.D. thesis at MIT on superpartners.

In this framework the lightest neutral superpartner particle — with a mass at least 50 times that of a proton — is the neutralino.

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.

Or if such particles, known as superpartners, do exist, they're not what physicists expected.

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.

The standard model of particle physics would be completed by finding the Higgs boson, but has a number of problems that would be solved if all known elementary particles had a heavier «superpartner».

To address this discrepancy, scientists have proposed that all particles have large - mass counterparts, or superpartners.

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.

Although the LHC will not come anywhere close to detecting strings, it may confirm a precursor theory called supersymmetry, in which every known type of particle has a «superpartner»: an unstable, heavier twin.

Many supersymmetry theories predict the lightest superpartner would be a stable, neutral, weakly interacting particle — that is, a WIMP.

Such particles are a signature prediction of supersymmetry, a popular extension of the Standard Model that fills in theoretical gaps by positing each particle has an accompanying «superpartner.»

For example, the electron should have a superpartner dubbed the selectron, while each quark has a superpartner called a squark.

Superpartners would solve this mystery by providing greater scope for cancellations.

Supersymmetry would give every known boson a heavy «superpartner» that is a fermion and every known fermion a heavy partner that is a boson.

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.

But if each particle species is paired with a superpartner, the two will offset each other, holding down the Higgs mass.

One option is supersymmetry, a mathematically beautiful extension that gives each of the current particles a «superpartner».

Supersymmetry rejects the conventional view of reality by postulating new forms of matter and energy called «superpartners» which theorizes that matter and force are «equal, almost symmetrical, participants.

New data from the world's most powerful particle accelerator — the Large Hadron Collider, now operating at higher energies than ever before — show no traces of superpartners.
