 ….But since people 
keep asking me a lot 
 about it, I feel like 
 explaining it in the 
simplest form here.

Supersymmetry: 
 Assuming that the scalars we observed
in real life (e.g: mass) is just projections
of extra dimensional vectors of
supersymmetric space, Supersymmetry
searches for possible symmetries between
those scalars and vectors.

This is Bob. He lives in a 4
                    dimensional (x,y,z,t) world like us.
                    This means he can measure length,
                    height, width of an object at any
                    time. Here he has 3 vectors called
                    x,y,z.   



                    This is Alice. She lives in a 5 dimensional 
                    world. Because she can measure one 
                    extra dimension θ in addition to x,y,z,t. 
                    So she has 4 vectors called x,y,z,θ.

      Whenever they decide to measure

Because Bob was measuring 4 dimensions

      -width, length, height, time- but Alice was 
                     measuring one more dimension called θ

                     in addition to width, length, height and time.

      One day, Bob decided to do better than

He called up Alice and asked if she

      can measure any scalar feature of the

“Alice” lives in an extra

      dimensional world so that she
                        measures scalars (like mass)

…But Bob measures some of

      her vectorial dimensions as

As a natural consequence of
                supersymmetry: 
We   should observe “scalar and vectorial partners” of elementary particles.

Supersymmetry: 
 Assuming that the scalars we observed
in real life (e.g: mass) is just projections
of extra dimensional vectors of
supersymmetric space, Supersymmetry
searches for possible symmetries between
those scalars and vectors.

        I hope it is more 
         apparent now.

What's Supersymmetry?

  • 1. What is Supersymmetry ? What is Supersymmetry ? kudayblog.wordpress.com  1 
  • 2. What is Supersymmetry ? Just a single  ques:on for  crea:ng enough  trouble.  What is Supersymmetry ? kudayblog.wordpress.com  2 
  • 3. What is Supersymmetry ? ….But since people  keep asking me a lot  about it, I feel like  explaining it in the  simplest form here.   What is Supersymmetry ? kudayblog.wordpress.com  3 
  • 4. What is Supersymmetry ? So let me  try….  What is Supersymmetry ? kudayblog.wordpress.com  4 
  • 5. Supersymmetry: Assuming that the scalars we observed in real life (e.g: mass) is just projections of extra dimensional vectors of supersymmetric space, Supersymmetry searches for possible symmetries between those scalars and vectors. What is Supersymmetry ? kudayblog.wordpress.com  5 
  • 6. Supersymmetry: Assuming that the scalars we observed in real life (e.g: mass) is just projections of extra dimensional vectors of supersymmetric space, Supersymmetry searches for possible symmetries between those scalars and vectors. Scalars, vectors,  extra dimensions,  space, projec:on?? … Did you  understand it  now??  What is Supersymmetry ? kudayblog.wordpress.com  6 
  • 7. Supersymmetry: Assuming that the scalars we observed in real life (e.g: mass) is just projections of extra dimensional vectors of supersymmetric space, Supersymmetry searches for possible symmetries between those scalars and vectors. Me  neither!!!  What is Supersymmetry ? kudayblog.wordpress.com  7 
  • 8. Supersymmetry: Assuming that the scalars we observed in real life (e.g: mass) is just projections of extra dimensional vectors of supersymmetric space, Supersymmetry searches for possible symmetries between those scalars and vectors. Let’s draw a  picture in other  words.  What is Supersymmetry ? kudayblog.wordpress.com  8 
  • 9. This is Bob. He lives in a 4 dimensional (x,y,z,t) world like us. This means he can measure length, height, width of an object at any time. Here he has 3 vectors called x,y,z. This is Alice. She lives in a 5 dimensional world. Because she can measure one extra dimension θ in addition to x,y,z,t. So she has 4 vectors called x,y,z,θ. What is Supersymmetry ? kudayblog.wordpress.com  9 
  • 10. This is Bob. He lives in a 4 dimensional (x,y,z,t) world like us. This means he can measure length, Hushhhhh… Their  height, width of an object at any time. Here he has 3 vectors called rela:on has a strange  x,y,z. story and I will tell you  the reason why….  This is Alice. She lives in a 5 dimensional world. Because she can measure one extra dimension θ in addition to x,y,z,t. So she has 4 vectors called x,y,z,θ. What is Supersymmetry ? kudayblog.wordpress.com  10 
  • 11. Assume that this axis represents Bob’s  world: (x,y,z,t) = xμ  where μ = 1,2,3,4  BOB So that x1 = x , x2 = y , x3 = z , x4 = t   ALICE What is Supersymmetry ? kudayblog.wordpress.com  11 
  • 12. Xµ BOB …and assume that this axis represents Alice’s  world: (θ,x,y,z,t) = θa  where a = 1,2,3,4,5   So that θ1 = θ , θ2 = x , θ3 = y , θ4 = z , θ5 = t   ALICE What is Supersymmetry ? kudayblog.wordpress.com  12 
  • 13. Whenever they decide to measure BOB the dimensions of an object, they can not find the same results. ALICE a What is Supersymmetry ? kudayblog.wordpress.com  13 
  • 14. Because Bob was measuring 4 dimensions Xµ -width, length, height, time- but Alice was measuring one more dimension called θ BOB in addition to width, length, height and time. Yµ Y  ALICE Ya a What is Supersymmetry ? kudayblog.wordpress.com  14 
  • 15. One day, Bob decided to do better than this. And he realised that he can also BOB measure a scalar called Mass. Yµ Y  Mass of Y ALICE Ya a What is Supersymmetry ? kudayblog.wordpress.com  15 
  • 16. He called up Alice and asked if she Xµ can measure any scalar feature of the BOB same object Y. Alice told “What is a scalar?” Yµ Y  Mass of Y ALICE Ya a What is Supersymmetry ? kudayblog.wordpress.com  16 
  • 17. She was completely unaware of SCALAR features of Y !! BOB Yµ Y  Mass of Y ALICE Ya a What is Supersymmetry ? kudayblog.wordpress.com  17 
  • 18. Bob thought “That is too much. She must Xµ have been LYING!! And this relation cannot BOB go on with lies.” Yµ Y  Mass of Y ALICE Ya a What is Supersymmetry ? kudayblog.wordpress.com  18 
  • 19. Then a physicist appeared. And warned Bob.. Hey my friends, Xµ You’r ventured BOB into Uncharted waters.  Yµ Y  Mass of Y ALICE Ya a What is Supersymmetry ? kudayblog.wordpress.com  19 
  • 20. There is a simple solution and Xµ hence the facts are always BOB simple and understandable:   Yµ Y  Mass of Y ALICE Ya a What is Supersymmetry ? kudayblog.wordpress.com  20 
  • 21. “Alice” lives in an extra Xµ dimensional world so that she measures scalars (like mass) BOB as vectorial dimensions.   Yµ Y  Mass of Y ALICE Ya a What is Supersymmetry ? kudayblog.wordpress.com  21 
  • 22. …But Bob measures some of Xµ her vectorial dimensions as scalars. So there is a naïve BOB relation between Mass and θ.   Yµ Y  Mass of Y ALICE Ya a What is Supersymmetry ? kudayblog.wordpress.com  22 
  • 23. Years ago, Bob was living in Xµ Alice’s Extradimensional World. But his θ has collapsed into a BOB scalar axis. Yµ Y  Mass of Y ALICE a What is Supersymmetry ? kudayblog.wordpress.com  23 
  • 24. Now you learned everything Xµ and i will tell you how you can relate your two different BOB worlds with one equation.  Yµ Y  Mass of Y ALICE Ya a What is Supersymmetry ? kudayblog.wordpress.com  24 
  • 25. Assume that a particle travel with Xµ a constant speed and it’s momentum is “p”. So length of its momentum BOB vector will be |p|2 = 0  Mass ALICE a What is Supersymmetry ? kudayblog.wordpress.com  25 
  • 26. But Alice will write it as papa =0 Xµ and Bob will write it as pµpµ-m2 = BOB 0 . µ 2 p pµ − m = 0 Mass ALICE a p pa = 0 a What is Supersymmetry ? kudayblog.wordpress.com  26 
  • 27. If we transform Bob’s scalar axis to Xµ Alice’s vectorial axis θ, only Alice’s equation would be valid and it means BOB “supersymmetric transformation”. µ 2 p pµ − m = 0 Mass ALICE a p pa = 0 a What is Supersymmetry ? kudayblog.wordpress.com  27 
  • 28. As a natural consequence of supersymmetry: We should observe “scalar and vectorial partners” of elementary particles.

  • 29. Supersymmetry: Assuming that the scalars we observed in real life (e.g: mass) is just projections of extra dimensional vectors of supersymmetric space, Supersymmetry searches for possible symmetries between those scalars and vectors.
