Gluino

In particle physics, gluinos are the hypothetical supersymmetric partners of gluons.

Properties

Gluinos are Majorana fermions, that is, electrically neutral elementary particles with half-integer spin, more precisely, with a spin of 1/2. As an octet of color charges they are subject to the strong interaction. Since there are 8 different gluons ( color combinations ), there are also 8 different according gluinos. Gluinos have the lepton number and baryon number 0 0

Postulated observations

It is expected that pair production of gluinos in particle accelerators like the Large Hadron Collider ( LHC). The two gluinos should decay by strong interaction each into a quark and a squark, provided favorable mass ratios. The two squarks in turn would then decompose each into another quark and the lightest supersymmetric particle ( LSP). The latter would leave the detector undetected. This means that four jets ( for 2x2 quarks ) and missing energy would be a typical signal for a Gluinopaar at the LHC.

However, if the gluinos lighter than the squarks, then a Dreiteilchenzerfall of gluinos into a neutralino and a quark - antiquark pair would be kinematically possible by using an off - shell squarks.
