What is "superpartners"

Usage examples of "superpartners".

And finally, you might suggest that a simpler explanation for why the superpartner particles have never been found is that our universe is not supersymmetric and, therefore, the superpartners do not exist.

But many particle physicists feel that it means that the superpartners are very heavy and are thus beyond our current capacity to observe experimentally.

Conversely, even if superpartner particles are not found by the Large Hadron Collider, this fact alone will not rule out string theory, since it might be that the superpartners are so heavy that they are beyond the reach of this machine as well.
