nLab super QCD

Idea

Super QCD is a super Yang-Mills theory coupled to matter which is a supersymmetric extension of quantum chromodynamics (QCD, an ordinary Yang-Mills theory coupled to matter), possibly as one sector of a supersymmetric extension (MSSM) of the standard model of particle physics: In super QCD the quarks and gluons have superpartners given by squarks and gluinos.
