Supersymmetry: what? why? when?

The Why, Who, What, How, and When of Patient Engagement in Healthcare Organizations: A Response to Recent Commentaries

An Introduction to Supersymmetry

1 Why supersymmetry? When the Large Hadron Collider at CERN takes up operations soon, its main objective, besides confirming the existence of the Higgs boson, will be to discover new physics beyond the standard model of the strong and electroweak interactions. It is widely believed that what will be found is a (at energies accessible to the LHC softly broken) supersymmetric extension of the sta...

In these Lectures, we present a pedagogical introduction to weak scale supersymmetry phenomenology. A basic understanding of the Standard Model and of the ideas behind Grand Unification, but no prior knowledge of supersymmetry, is assumed. Topics covered include: • What is supersymmetry and why do we bother with it? • Working with a supersymmetric theory: A toy example

Using the Taxonomy and the Metrics: What to Study When and Why; Comment on “Metrics and Evaluation Tools for Patient Engagement in Healthcare Organization- and System-Level Decision-Making: A Systematic Review”

Dukhanin and colleagues’ taxonomy of metrics for patient engagement at the organizational and system levels has great potential for supporting more careful and useful evaluations of this ever-growing phenomenon. This commentary highlights the central importance to the taxonomy of metrics assessing the extent of meaningful participation in decision-making by patients, consumers and community mem...

Supersymmetry Detection and Precision Measurements at a Linear Collider

Supersymmetry is perhaps the strongest candidate to explain phenomena outside the standard model. In this paper I will motivate the need for such extra-standard model theory, as well as provide a theoretical overview of supersymmetry. I will discuss the design of a next-generation linear collider and detector systems and detail how such a collider can lead to the discovery of supersymmetry and ...
