RE: Discussing my own research - hunting for flavorful new phenomena at the Large Hadron Collider

Greetings! Excellent information.

As I know, supersymmetry has not produced satisfactory results in recent attempts, even with considerably high energies.
Hopefully with small modifications we will answer: what is it, and what is behind the giant and frustrating dark matter?

It is funny to see how behind a theory that many consider to be wrong or useless, the bases of a whole new science can be formed (for example, the electrolytic theory of Arrhenius)

Great work, Regards!!

Thanks for the comment!

We indeed didn't find it, and it may or may not be there. However, even if nature is supersymmetric, there is no guarantee that supersymmetry will be found at current experiments. However, it is important to search for it (as well as for any other potential new physics theory), just to be sure we don't miss it.

Hopefully with small modifications we will answer: what is it, and what is behind the giant and frustrating dark matter?

We will definitely learn a lot about that in the next decade. What we will learn could be either positive, or negative, but we will learn anyways.

The theory is correct. However, the question is instead: is the theory realized in nature? And this, we can't answer yet (actually, there is always a mean to push supersymmetry to slightly higher scales explaining why we don't detect it. But this is a bit boring :)
