ATLAS Imposes Strict Constraints on Supersymmetric Dark Matter Particles

If new ⁣particles are⁤ out there, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) ‌is the ideal place to search for them. The theory of supersymmetry suggests ​that a whole⁢ new family of ⁢partner particles⁢ exists for each of the ​known fundamental​ particles. While this might seem extravagant, these partner particles could address various shortcomings in current scientific knowledge, such as the source of the mysterious dark matter in⁣ the universe, the “unnaturally” small mass of the ​Higgs boson, the anomalous way‍ that the muon‍ spins and even the relationship between ‌the various forces of nature. But⁢ if⁢ these supersymmetric particles exist, where might​ they be hiding?
