Everything you always wanted to know about SUSY, but were afraid to ask

Abstract

New experimental tests of nuclear supersymmetry are suggested. They involve the measurement of one- and two-nucleon transfer reactions between nuclei that belong to the same supermultiplet. These reactions provide a direct test of the `fermionic' sector, i.e. of the operators that change a boson into a fermion or vice versa. We present some theoretical predictions for the supersymmetric quartet of nuclei: 194Pt, 195Pt, 195Au and 196Au.
