superparticle

/ ˈsuːpərˌpɑːtɪkəl /

noun

1. physics (in supersymmetry theory) a theoretical particle that is a partner to an observed particle, having the same mass but a different spin

Example Sentences

This means that when we cool them enough they can all enter the same low-energy state and act collectively like one superparticle—a Bose-Einstein condensate.

From Scientific American

In a sense, all these particles could then be regarded as different aspects of the same “superparticle,” thus unifying the matter particles with spin Zi and Vi with the force-carrying particles of spin 0, 1, and 2.

From Literature

But importantly, those decay products should include the lightest and most stable superparticle, known as the neutralino – the particle that researchers have proposed is what makes up dark matter, the missing mass in the cosmos that binds galaxies together on the sky but which cannot be seen directly with telescopes.

From BBC

So, not only would supersymmetry proponents be elated because they would have their first superparticle, but science in general would have firm foot on the road to understanding dark matter.

From BBC

This superparticle can, for instance, in effect be moving in two directions at once.
