The challenges of supersymmetry
Pierre Binétruy · 2006
Abstract Although supersymmetry provides a satisfactory, and probably necessary, framework to address the questions left aside by the Standard Model, it is facing some difficult challenges. We take the opportunity in this last chapter to discuss two of the most difficult questions: the flavor problem and the cosmological constant problem. The lack of a clear solution to either of these problems would be (is?) probably a sign that we are missing an important piece of the jigsaw puzzle and that, if there is supersymmetry, it is probably not realized in the exact way that we presently think it is.
