Supersymmetry is a scientific theory that proposes a partner particle for every particle in the Standard physics model. This theory faces challenges from experimental data and philosophical arguments. How some scientists cope with beliefs not supported by evidence? #supersymmetry #physics #philosophy https://thedebrief.org/beliefs-versus-evidence-science-supersymmetry-and-beyond/

I was invited to contribute a chapter for a memorial volume for Giovanni Morchio, available now at http://arxiv.org/abs/2305.01960

Besides context on the relevance of his contribution to electroweak physics, it is an reviews the developments since my review https://arxiv.org/abs/1712.04721

And it contains something new about #Supersymmetry as an example of what you can do with his work.

#CMSPaper 1215: The signature of a particle with spin 1 that decays to a top quark and unidentifiable particles is a really important benchmark signature to check at the LHC, in this case taken from #Supersymmetry. And top quarks can also decay to tau leptons, and new physics could change that fraction. This paper contains the most sensitive ever analysis of these tau+missing momentum+b quark signatures, but it is still a #NullResult http://cms-results.web.cern.ch/cms-results/public-results/publications/SUS-21-004/index.html @CMSexperiment #CERN #particlephysics

「 String theory began over 50 years ago as a way to understand the strong nuclear force. Since then, it’s grown to become a theory of everything, capable of explaining the nature of every particle, every force, every fundamental constant, and the existence of the Universe itself. But despite decades of work, it has failed to deliver on its promise 」

#CMSPaper 1206: Scalar top quarks (aka squarks) are hypothetical #particles that are partners of the top quark, predicted by #supersymmetry, for example. This #nullresult (we actually see a lot fewer collisions than expected even!) searches for the case where those squarks are lighter than W bosons, meaning they would create signatures with b quarks, a few extra quarks, and missing energy. http://cms-results.web.cern.ch/cms-results/public-results/publications/SUS-21-003/index.html #particlephysics @CMSexperiment #physics #cern

A nice and useful trick if you want to manipulate #supersymmetry models using #cadabra

#CMSPaper 1195: #Supersymmetry is a useful benchmark to look for signatures of new undiscovered #particles that are invisible in our detector. This #nullresult looks for supersymmetry using angles between many (top) quarks, in very busy collisions.

The figure shows the quality of the background prediction as a function of number of jets, high multiplicities are difficult! (1 means no corrections are needed, small error bars/bands mean well understood) http://cms-results.web.cern.ch/cms-results/public-results/publications/SUS-21-007/index.html #physics #CERN

the article on #supersymmetry from Nova is pretty good. I didn't really understand the appeal before
