Twisted Superfields

TL;DR

This paper proposes a novel extension of the Standard Model using a holomorphic, gauge-invariant model that is not fully supersymmetric, potentially explaining experimental deviations with fewer predicted particles.

Contribution

It introduces a new model that combines supersymmetric features with non-supersymmetric aspects, predicting observable differences from the Standard Model.

Findings

Explains 3-7 sigma deviations from Standard Model

Predicts superpartners as quarks instead of new particles

Provides a framework compatible with current experimental data

Abstract

A model is presented that could lead to an interesting extension of the Standard Model. Like a supersymmetric gauge theory, the model is holomorphic and invariant to local superspace gauge transformations. However, the model is not invariant to superspace translations, so it is not supersymmetric. It is proposed that this combination allows the model to have many of the attractive features of supersymmetric theories, while at the same time predicting fewer particles that have not yet been seen experimentally. For example, the ``superpartners'' of the gauge bosons in the model are quarks. The model is able to generate the symmetries and particles of the Standard Model, but with some significant differences that have observable consequences. These consequences provide possible explanations for a number of 3-7 sigma deviations from Standard Model calculations that have been found in recent experiments.
