When Symmetry Breaks Down - School of Natural Sciences
... The one facet of the standard model that we have not yet been able to test experimentally is perhaps the most basic: how is the symmetry broken? However,we have a pretty clear idea of where such information can be found. Just as one can use atomic masses and binding energies to estimate the melting ...

Elements of a Physics Case for HE LHC
... Scalar superpartners are unlikely to be directly produced at LHC in this framework. In general, scalars are heavier than fermion superpartners across many variants of susy model building. Generic prospect. Need high energy to produce directly these heavy squarks. Perhaps best bet is gaugino + squark ...
