Bristol physicists contribute to the search for new elementary particles (University of Bristol)

Edit Public Technologies 17 Aug 2016

The group led an analysis of the data for signs of partners of the top and bottom quarks and the gluon, as predicted by a theory called Supersymmetry. Supersymmetry relates two different types of particles - those with half-integer spin, and their 'superpartners' with integer spin ...

Back to the Drawing Board for Physics?

Edit The Atlantic 11 Aug 2016

In the collision debris, physicists have found no particles that could comprise dark matter, no siblings or cousins of the Higgs boson, no sign of extra dimensions, no leptoquarks—and above all, none of the desperately sought supersymmetry particles that would round out equations and satisfy “naturalness,” a deep principle about how the laws of nature ought to work....
