In particle physics, supersymmetry breaking or SUSY breaking is a process via which a seemingly non-supersymmetric physics emerges from a supersymmetric theory.
In supergravity, this results in a slightly modified counterpart of the Higgs mechanism where the gravitinos become massive.
[citation needed] Supersymmetry breaking is relevant in the domain of applicability of stochastic differential equations, which includes classical physics, and encompasses[clarification needed] nonlinear dynamical phenomena as chaos, turbulence, and pink noise.
In the scenario known as low energy supersymmetry, in which supersymmetry fully solves the hierarchy problem, this scale should not be far from 1000 GeV, and therefore should be accessible using the Large Hadron Collider and future accelerators.
However, supersymmetry may also be broken at high energy scales.
