“A fascinating account of the theoretical ideas behind supersymmetry…told by someone who has contributed deeply to the development of the field.” -NatureFor most of human history, man has been trying to discover just how the universe works. In this groundbreaking work, renowned physicist Gordon Kane first gives us the basics of the Standard Model, which describes the fundamental constituents and forces of nature. He then explains the next great leap in understanding: the theory of supersymmetry, which implies that each of the fundamental particles has a “superpartner” that can be detected at energies and intensities only now being achieved in the giant accelerators. If Kane and his colleagues are correct, these superpartners will also help solve many of the puzzles of modern physics-such as the existence of the Higgs boson-as well as one of the biggest mysteries is cosmology: the notorious “dark matter” of the universe.
Table of contents:
1 WHERE DO WE COME FROM? WHAT ARE WE? WHERE ARE WE GOING?
To understand nature we need to know about particles, forces, and rules Research in progress (RIP). Equations? Prediction, postdiction, and testing. Where are the superpartners? The boundaries of science have moved
2 THE STANDARD MODEL OF PARTICLE PHYSICS
The forces Mass, decays, and quanta The particles: Do we really know the fundamental constituents of matter? Particles and fields There are more particles. New ideas and remarkable predictions of the Standard Model . Experimental foundations of the Standard Model. Picturing Standard Model processes: Feynman diagrams. Spin, fermions, and bosons Beyond the Standard Model
3 WHY PHYSICS IS THE EASIEST SCIENCE-EFFECTIVE THEORIES
Organizing effective theories by distance scales. Supersymmetry is an effective theory too.
