Supersymmetry’s Long Fall from Grace
SMRTR summary
Supersymmetry, a theory proposing every known elementary particle has a heavier "superpartner," has lost its privileged status in particle physics. Despite decades of searching, CERN's Large Hadron Collider experiments have found no evidence for supersymmetry. The ATLAS and CMS teams at CERN no longer have dedicated supersymmetry working groups, signaling a shift away from the once-dominant theory. This change reflects dwindling interest and resources for supersymmetry research, potentially impacting future particle physics experiments and funding priorities.
