An overview of recent developments in supersymmetry, supergravity and unification and prospects for supersymmetry discovery at the current and future high energy colliders and elsewhere are discussed. Currently several empirical data point to supersymmetry as an underlying symmetry of particle physics. These include the unification of gauge couplings within supersymmetry, prediction within supergravity unification that the Higgs boson mass lie below 130 GeV supported by the observation of the Higgs boson mass at ~125 GeV, and vacuum stability up to the Planck scale for the observed value of the Higgs boson mass while the standard model does not do that. Additionally, of course, supersymmetry solves the big hierarchy problem arising from the quadratic divergence to the Higgs boson mass square in the Standard Model, and provides a frame work that allows for extrapolation of physics from the electroweak scale to the grand unification scale consistent with experiment. Currently there is no alternative paradigm that does that. However, the large loop corrections needed to lift the mass of the Higgs boson from its tree value to the experimentally observed values imply that the scale of weak scale supersymmetry lies in the TeV region making the observation of sparticles more challenging. The lightest of the sparticles could still lie with in reach of the High Luminosity (HL)-LHC and High Energy (HE)-LHC operating at an optimal luminosity of 2.5 × 10³⁵ cm⁻² s⁻¹ at a center of mass energy of 27 TeV. Variety of other experiments related to search for dark matter, improved experiments on the measurement of g_μ − 2 and EDMs of elementary particles could lend further support for new physics beyond the standard model and specifically supersymmetry. Supergravity theories may also contain hidden sectors which may interact with the visible sector gravitationally and also via extra-weak or ultra-weak interactions. In this case a variety of new signals might arise in indirect detection and at LHC in the form of long lived charged sparticles which can either decay inside the detector or outside. We note that the discovery of sparticles will establish supersymmetry as a fundamental symmetry of nature, and its confirmation will also lend support for strings.

讨论了超对称性，超重力和统一性的最新发展概况，以及在当前和未来的高能对撞机以及其他地方发现超对称性的前景。当前，一些经验数据指出超对称性是粒子物理学的基本对称性。这些包括超对称内规范耦合的统一，超重力统一内希格斯玻色子质量低于130 GeV的预测（由在约125 GeV处的希格斯玻色子质量的观测所支持）以及直至普朗克尺度的观测值的真空稳定性。希格斯玻色子质量，而标准模型则不行。此外，当然，超对称解决了标准模型中因希格斯玻色子质量平方的二次发散而产生的大层次问题，并提供了一个框架，可以将物理学从电弱标度外推到与实验一致的统一标准。当前，没有其他范式可以做到这一点。但是，将希格斯玻色子的质量从树值提升到实验观察到的值所需的大环校正意味着弱尺度超对称性的尺度位于TeV区域，这使得对粒子的观察更具挑战性。最轻的粒子仍可能处于以2.5×10的最佳光度运行的高光度（HL）-LHC和高能量（HE）-LHC范围内 将希格斯玻色子的质量从树值提升到实验观测值所需的大环校正意味着弱尺度超对称性的尺度位于TeV区域，这使得对粒子的观察更具挑战性。最轻的粒子仍可能位于以2.5×10的最佳光度运行的高光度（HL）-LHC和高能（HE）-LHC范围内 将希格斯玻色子的质量从树值提升到实验观测值所需的大环校正意味着弱尺度超对称性的尺度位于TeV区域，这使得对粒子的观察更具挑战性。最轻的粒子仍可能位于以2.5×10的最佳光度运行的高光度（HL）-LHC和高能（HE）-LHC范围内³⁵ cm ^-2 s ^-1在27 TeV的质能中心。的相关来搜索暗物质其他实验中，上的测量改进的实验品种克_μ− 2和基本粒子的EDM可以为标准模型（特别是超对称）之外的新物理提供更多支持。超重力理论还可能包含隐藏的扇区，这些扇区可能在重力作用下与可见扇区相互作用，也可能通过超弱或超弱相互作用而相互作用。在这种情况下，在间接检测中以及在LHC处，可能会以长寿命带电粒子的形式出现各种新信号，这些信号会在检测器内部或外部衰减。我们注意到，微粒的发现将把超对称性确立为自然界的基本对称性，对其的确认也将为弦乐提供支持。
