susy

feeling much better today in terms of energy and alertness.  Woke right up when Dr. Raj started adding more tests.  he made me promise not to leave until he reads the result today's CT.  fasted to 4pm so this was good practice for Yom Kippur.

SUSY is a class of theories that if true would resolve certain theoretical issues in elementary particles.
My group just finished up a search for some SUSY particles and the non-discovery was presented by
my student Marcelo at the SUSY2011 conference at Fermilab.  The dark matter particle that I am looking for at the bottom of various mines would be a totally new kind of matter and might turn out to be a SUSY particle.    So SUSYHUNTER keeps looking, but you can bet he packs a lunch!
