The supersymmetric harmonic oscillator
Recall raising and lowering operators in quantum mechanics
b+|nB〉 =√nB + 1 |nB + 1〉
b−|nB〉 =√nB |nB − 1〉
where b−|0〉 = 0 and [b−, b+] = 1; [b−, b−] = [b+, b+] = 0
→ b+/b− creates/annihilates bosons
Analogously for fermions
f +|nF 〉 =√nF + 1|nF + 1〉
f −|nF 〉 =√nF |nF − 1〉
But fermions obey Pauli exclusion principle
→ only two states |0〉 and f +|0〉 = |1〉
So for fermions
f +|0〉 = |1〉, f −|1〉 = |0〉 and f −|0〉 = f +|1〉 = 0

Summary of the SUSY oscillator
I If we start with a bosonic system we need to introduce fermions(and vice versa)
→ for a SUSY extension of the SM we will have to introduceSUSY partners for all SM particles
I We need identical couplings: ωF = ωB
→ SUSY extensions of the SM do not introduce new couplings
I The spectrum consists of pairs of states (bosonic/fermionic) withthe same energy
→ SM particles and SUSY partners have the same mass(and internal quantum numbers)
I The energy of the ground state is zero
→ SUSY QFTs have less divergences

Why supersymmetric quantum field theory?
SUSY is a symmetry which relates fermions and bosons:
Q|fermion〉 = |boson〉Q|boson〉 = |fermion〉
Q is s spinorial generator, i.e. has spin = 1/2.
To construct a Lagrangian which is supersymmetric, i.e. invariant under
|fermion〉 ↔ |boson〉
we will need to double the spectrum.
Example: electron (ψe)L(s = 1/2) ↔ φeL(s = 0) (scalar electron eL)
(ψe)R(s = 1/2) ↔ φeR (s = 0) (scalar electron eR)
Note: eL/R are called ”left/right-handed” selectron to indicate SUSY partner(scalar particle has no helicity).

How do we characterize a particle?
Consider Lorentz group (rotations & boosts) with invariants
PµPµ = m2 and WµW
µ = −m2s(s + 1) .
Pµ: energy momentum operator
Wµ = 12εµνρσPνMρσ: Pauli-Lubanski spin vector
where Mµν = angular momentum tensor = xµPν − xνPµ + 12Σµν
→ particles are characterized by Lorentz invariants: mass and spin
The
Lorentz
Gauge
symmetry is an
external
internal
symmetry.
→ invariants of gauge symmetries (“charges”) do not change in spaceand time
→ the generators of the gauge group T a commute with the generators
of the Lorentz group [T a,Pµ] = 0 and [T a,Mµν ] = 0

The Coleman-Mandula theorem
Coleman & Mandula, ”All Possible Symmetries of the S Matrix”,
PRD 159 (1967):
The only possible conserved quantities that transform as tensorsunder the Lorentz group are the generators of the Lorentzgroup (Pµ,Mµν) and Lorentz scalars (internal symmetries).
According to Coleman & Mandula, if we add to the Lorentz symmetryany further external symmetry, whose generators are tensors, then thescattering process must be trivial, i.e. there is no scattering at all.
Let us work this out in an example. . .

We consider
2→ 2 spinless scattering
and take, for simplicity, p2i = m2
i = m2.
Momentum conservation implies p1 + p2 = p3 + p4.
Now let us postulate an additional external symmetry,
e.g. a conserved tensor Rµν = pµpν − 14gµνm

Specifically, in the center-of-mass frame we have
p1 = (E , 0, 0, p)
p2 = (E , 0, 0,−p)
p3 = (E , 0, p sin θ, p cos θ)
p4 = (E , 0,−p sin θ,−p cos θ)
Let us look at e.g. µ = ν = 4. We find
2p2 = 2p2 cos θ .

Motivation for supersymmetry
A Priori:
I SUSY is the unique maximal external symmetry in Nature.
I Weak-scale SUSY provides a solution to the hierarchy problem.
A Posteriori:
I SUSY allows for unification of Standard Model gauge interactions.
I SUSY provides dark matter candidates.
I SUSY explains EWSB dynamically.
I SUSY QFT’s allow for precision calculations.
I SUSY provides a rich phenomenology and is testable at the LHC.

Gauge coupling unification
In QFT the gauge couplings “run”:
dαi (µ)
d lnµ2= βi (αi (µ))
The beta-functions βi depend on the gauge group and on the mattermultiplets to which the gauge bosons couple. Only particles with mass< µ contribute to the βi and to the evolution of the coupling at anygiven mass scale µ.
The Standard Model couplings evolve with µ according to
SU(3) : β3,0 = (33− 4ng )/(12π)SU(2) : β2,0 = (22− 4ng − nh/2)/(12π)U(1) : β1,0 = (−4ng − 3nh/10)/(12π)
where ng = 3 is the number of quark and lepton generations and nh = 1is the number of Higgs doublet fields in the Standard Model.

Gauge coupling unification
Loop contributions of superpartners change the beta-functions. In theMSSM one finds:
SU(3) : βSUSY3,0 = (27− 6ng )/(12π)
SU(2) : βSUSY2,0 = (18− 6ng − 3nh/2)/(12π)

SUSY searches
The SUSY parameter space is strongly constrained by
I loop-induced effects:
BR(b → sγ), BR(Bs → µµ), BR(b → τν), ∆mBs , (g − 2)µ, mW , sin2 θeff
I astrophysical observations:
ΩDM, direct and indirect DM detection limits
I direct sparticle and Higgs boson search limits from colliders:
mχ± , LEP limits on MSSM Higgs bosons
I LHC SUSY exclusions from jets+ETmiss searches
I the LHC Higgs signal
