SUSY Forever?
Prof. Hans-Peter Nilles (Physikalisches Institut, Universität Bonn)


Various applications of supersymmetry (SUSY) in particle physics and cosmology have been discuused in recent decades. Motivation for SUSY is based on theoretical ideas such as the unification of fundamental interactions and mathematical consistency. Still no sign of SUSY has been found. Experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will probe additional regions of SUSY parameter space in the near future. Will they be able to give a conclusive answer?
