Hangout with CERN: All about SUSY (S03E09)

From the creator

On 4th July 2012, CERN announced the discovery of a new boson later confirmed to be "a Higgs boson", but which one? Is it the Higgs boson predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics or one of the five Higgs bosons associated with "supersymmetry", a principle that attempts to fix the few remaining problems of the Standard Model? In this week's hangout we talk about supersymmetry, also known as "SUSY". What is it, why, and how does it link with the Higgs boson? Our host CMS physicist Freya Blekman is joined by SUSY theorist John Ellis, ATLAS physicist Xavier Portell Bueso and CMS physicist Josh Thompson, as well as student intern Jayendra Minakshisundar, with CMS physicist Seth Zenz monitoring social media. Find out more about supersymmetry by watching these videos by Don Lincoln from Fermilab: What is Supersymmetry? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CeLRrBAI60 and Why Supersymmetry? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09VbAe9JZ8Y Recorded live on 20th June 2013. The hangouts with CERN answer questions received via #askCERN on Twitter and Google+ and via YouTube and Facebook comments. http://www.youtube.com/cerntv http://google.com/+CERN http://www.facebook.com/cern http://twitter.com/cern/ http://cern.ch/hangouts Want to watch our previous hangouts?
