Problems Possibly ‘Solved’ by<br />
Supersymmetry<br />
• Dark Matter problem – the lightest SUSY particle is stable => candidate for<br />
Dark Matter<br />
• Explanation for how mass is generated in the SM => requires a heavy top<br />
quark, as was observed after the SUSY ‘prediction’<br />
Introduces a higher<br />
level <strong>of</strong> symmetry<br />
that stabilizes the<br />
theory against higher<br />
order corrections<br />
(solves the hierarchy<br />
problem)<br />
Provides for<br />
Unification <strong>of</strong> the<br />
forces into a single<br />
force at very high<br />
energies<br />
(alternatively, at very<br />
short distances or in<br />
the very early<br />
Universe)
