The advent of supersymmetry (SUSY) has led to the
construction of particle theory models linking a wide range of physical
phenomena. While initially proposed on aesthetic grounds that there
should be a symmetry between fermions and bosons, SUSY has allowed for
consistent model building from low energies up to the grand unification
(GUT) scale. Further, these models offer a natural particle candidate
for the astronomically observed dark matter with the possible linking of
cosmology at 10^(-7) seconds after the Big Bang to particle physics. In
this talk we will review the basic cosmology and particle theory ideas
of these models and discuss how it may be possible for them to be
verified at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN which will go into
operation in 2007. |
