Supersymmetric particle production
Supersymmetric particle production. Computer artwork showing the results of a collision between a quark (pink) and an antiquark (blue). The collision will form two heavy supersymmetric particles (purple) that will decay into two lighter supersymmetric particles (red) and W and Z particles (pink orange). The W particle (right) then further decays into a muon (green) and an antineutrino (white) and the Z particle (left) decays into a positron and an electron (both green). As of March 2007 supersymmetric particles are yet to be detected. It is hoped that the high energy collisions possible within the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which begins operation in the summer of 2007 at CERN, will allow the detection of supersymmetric particles

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer artwork showcases the potential outcome of a collision between a quark and an antiquark, shedding light on supersymmetric particle production. The collision generates two heavy supersymmetric particles that subsequently decay into lighter supersymmetric particles, as well as W and Z particles. The W particle undergoes further decay, resulting in the creation of a muon and an antineutrino, while the Z particle decays into both a positron and an electron. Interestingly, as of March 2007 when this print was taken, supersymmetric particles had not yet been detected. However, scientists were hopeful that the commencement of operations at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) later that year would enable their detection. With its ability to facilitate high-energy collisions between subatomic particles, the LHC held immense promise for unraveling the mysteries surrounding these elusive entities. The illustration beautifully captures the intricate dance of colliding particles within our physical world. It represents a significant endeavor in particle physics research aimed at expanding our understanding beyond the confines of the standard model. As we delve deeper into this realm of subatomic interactions and explore concepts like supersymmetry, we inch closer to unlocking profound insights about fundamental forces governing our universe.
