Well, all of this is theoretical, but I asked myself this because I never heard about antimatter in a SUSY particle context.
SUSY (Supersymmetry) is a theoretical framework in particle physics that suggests every known fundamental particle has a supersymmetric partner, known as a SUSY particle. These SUSY particles have the same properties as their corresponding particle, except for their spin, which differs by half a unit. Antiparticles, on the other hand, have the same mass as their corresponding particles but have opposite electric charge, spin, and other quantum numbers.
Yes, according to the theory of SUSY, every particle has a corresponding antiparticle. This is known as the principle of supersymmetry.
SUSY particles and antiparticles can be created in particle collisions through the conversion of energy into matter. This process is governed by Einstein's famous equation E=mc², where E represents energy, m represents mass, and c is the speed of light.
Scientists use large particle accelerators, such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), to create high-energy collisions between particles. These collisions produce a spray of particles, including SUSY particles and antiparticles, which are then detected by specialized detectors. By analyzing the data from these collisions, scientists can determine the presence of SUSY particles and antiparticles.
Finding SUSY particles and their antiparticles would support the theory of supersymmetry and provide a more complete understanding of the fundamental building blocks of the universe. It could also help solve some of the unanswered questions in physics, such as the nature of dark matter and the unification of fundamental forces.
