Abstract

Although it involves a spin-1/2 generator, the supersymmetry algebra cannot be used to relate directly known fermions and bosons. Nevertheless, and despite all appearances of the contrary, supersymmetry may still be an invariance of the world, if we make the assumption of the existence of new superpartners — squarks and selectrons, gluinos and photino, winos and zinos, etc. — for all particles.

This led us to the Supersymmetric Standard Model, which includes two Higgs doublets for the electroweak breaking, R-parity, which distinguishes ordinary (R-even) particles from (R-odd) superpartners, is related to B and L conservation laws and may be viewed as a new reflection symmetry in superspace — next to Parity and Time-reversal. We discuss the main features of the searches for the new “supersymmetric particles,” starting with the famous “missing-energy” signature, and the first searches for gluinos and photinos, smuons and selectrons, in 1978–79.
