“Supersymmetry as a Theoretical Toolbox”
Dr. Brian Wecht, ’97
University of Michigan
One usually first hears about supersymmetry as the leading candidate for physics beyond the Standard Model. However, many physicists see supersymmetry as useful for an entirely different purpose, namely, as a method of understanding hard problems in quantum field theory. In this talk, I will describe what quantum field theory is, why it’s difficult, and how supersymmetry can help us make progress in understanding it.
