their own problems to be a consistent models of nature," wrote particle physicist Rahmat Rahmat from the University of Mississippi, who also works on the CMS experiment, in an email to Wired. As yet, supersymmetry is still the front-runner for theories beyond the Standard Model and most physicists remain optimistic for its prospects. "I'm really hopeful that besides the discovery of the Higgs, we will also soon see something else," said Csaki.
