Abstract

We present results from a lattice study of SU(2) color, N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory using domain wall fermions. Supersymmetry in this particular lattice formulation is expected to emerge in the continuum and chiral limits without any fine-tuning of operators. Preliminary results for the static quark potential, residual mass, chiral condensate and spectrum--a potential indicator of supersymmetry restoration--are presented and discussed.
