We show that the nuclear supersymmetry model (n-susy) in its extended version, predicts correlations in the nuclear structure matrix elements which characterize transfer reactions between nuclei that belong to the same supermultiplet. These…

A nuclear physics example of the U(6/2) supersymmetry group is considered. It is shown that this group contains a supersymmetric subgroup with a structure similar to the SUSY model of the quantum field theory (QFT). A comparison of two…
We present evidence for a new supersymmetric quartet in the A=190 region of the nuclear mass table. New experimental information on transfer and neutron capture reactions to the odd-odd nucleaus 194 Ir strongly suggests the existence of a…
According to the analysis based on the fermion dynamical symmetry model, nuclei previously regarded as SO(6)-like (e.g. $^{128}$Xe and $^{196}$Pt) are shown to be more akin to the transitional nuclei between SO(7) and SO(6) symmetries.
In supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model, the observed particles come in fermion-boson pairs necessary for the realization of supersymmetry (SUSY). In spite of the expected abundance of super-partners for all the known particles,…
There are at least three physical arguments for some form of supersymmetry, based on experiment and observation, but conventional supersymmetry (SUSY) has not been observed up to surprisingly high experimental limits. Here we consider a…
Supersymmetry (SUSY) is a symmetry transforming bosons to fermions and vice versa. Indications of its existence have been extensively sought after in high-energy experiments. However, signatures of SUSY have yet to be detected. In this…
Quantum Mechanics SUper-SYmmetry (QM-SUSY) provides a general framework for studies using phenomenological potentials for nucleons (or clusters) interacting with a core. The SUSY potentials result from the transformation of the mean field…
We demonstrate that exact supersymmetry can emerge in a purely fermionic system. This "supersymmetry without bosons" is unveiled by constructing a novel boson-fermion Dyson mapping from a fermion space to a space comprised of collective…
In this work we present symmetry transformations relating bosons to fermions which cannot be represented as a supersymmetric algebra. We present a symmetry transformation relating a complex scalar and a fermion in four dimensions and…

If new particles are discovered, it will be important to determine if they are the supersymmetric partners of standard model bosons and fermions. Supersymmetry predicts relations among the couplings and masses of these particles. We discuss…
We discuss a microscopic framework for phenomenological boson-fermion models of nuclear structure based on the U($n/m$) type of superalgebras. The generalized Dyson mapping of fermion collective superalgebras provides a basis to do so and…
