What implications would this discovery have if the evidence for it was overwhelming? The article talks about super-symmetry, but couldn't it be also possible that we get out of it just some small revisions to the standard model?
- msarchet 4y agoMy understanding is that the mass relates to particles that the w boson would have to interact with during collisions for it to have the mass that was measure. Our known model doesn't predict this which means there might be particles that we haven't found in our current model. Which is where the super symmetry comes from
