SUPERSYMMETRY

SUSY is a theoretical concept in particle physics that proposes a symmetry between fermions and bosons, the two classes of subatomic particles. In this theory,each particle in the Standard Model of particle physics has a supersymmetric partner particle- "sparticle"

In SUSY, each fermion has a bosonic supersymmetric partner, and each boson has a fermionic supersymmetric partner. For example, the supersymmetric partner of an electron (a fermion) is a selectron (a boson), and for of a photon (a boson) is a photino (a fermion).

Sparticles have not yet been observed experimentally, but their existence could help explain some of the mysteries of particle physics, such as the nature of dark matter.

One of the predictions of SUSY is the existence of a new particle called the neutralino, which is a candidate for dark matter. The neutralino is predicted to be stable, neutral, and weakly interacting, which makes it a good candidate for dark matter.

SUSY has not yet been confirmed experimentally, despite extensive searches at particle accelerators such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Nonetheless, SUSY remains an important area of research in particle physics.
