In Search of SUSY
Summary
Combining the ideas of symmetry with a tiny loop of vibrating string, physicists have become close to explaining all the forces and particles of nature in one package - this concept is known as supersymmetry or SUSY. This book explains the particle world, from the electron to the search for SUSY.
