In particle physics , Supersymmetry ( SUSY ) is a fun proposed type of spacetime symmetry that relates two basic classes of elementary particles: bosons , which have an integer-valued spin , and fermions , which have a half-integer spin. Each particle from ...

n. (context physics English) A theory that attempts to unify the fundamental physical forces and which proposes a physical symmetry between bosons and fermions.
Usage examples of supersymmetry.
In fact, it turns out that there are four different ten-dimensional supergravity theories that differ in details regarding the precise way in which supersymmetry is incorporated.
The new string theory incorporated supersymmetry, and the observed pairing of bosonic and fermionic vibrational patterns reflected this highly symmetric character.
In 1976 Daniel Freedman, Sergio Ferrara, and Peter Van Nieuwenhuizen, all then of the State University of New York at Stony Brook, discovered that the most promising were those involving supersymmetry, since the tendency of bosons and fermions to give cancelling quantum fluctuations helps to calm the violent microscopic frenzy.
Such characteristics can be discussed with confidence, even with an incomplete understanding of the full theory In subsequent chapters we shall return to other examples, but for now we focus on one: supersymmetry.
Instead, detailed theoretical analysis showed that if the universe incorporates supersymmetry, then every known particle must have an as-yet-undiscovered superpartner particle, whose spin is half a unit less than its known counterpart.
Since supersymmetry ensures that bosons and fermions occur in pairs, substantial cancellations occur from the outset—cancellations that significantly calm some of the frenzied quantum effects.
Again, both heterotic theories incorporate a version of supersymmetry.
They rapidly made important strides toward incorporating supersymmetry into the framework of point-particle quantum field theory.
