Hidden Supersymmetry

TL;DR

This paper proposes a model where weak interactions are governed by unbroken gauge symmetry and supersymmetry at a fundamental level, with supersymmetry hidden at observable scales due to a discrete symmetry, linking high-energy theories to observed physics.

Contribution

It introduces a novel illustrative model demonstrating hidden supersymmetry in weak interactions through bound states and discrete symmetry breaking.

Findings

Supersymmetry remains exact at the fundamental particle scale.

Observable particles are bound states of more fundamental particles.

Supersymmetric particles are confined within ordinary matter.

Abstract

Inspired by the concept of complementarity, we present a illustrative model for the weak interactions with unbroken gauge symmetry and unbroken supersymmetry. The observable particles are bound states of some more fundamental particles. Supersymmetry is broken at the macroscopic scale of the observable particles by a discrete symmetry but remains exact at the scale of the fundamental particle and is thus hidden. This provides a link between theories at very high energies and the observed particle physics. Supersymmetric particles are confined in usual matter.
