Numerical results for the lightest bound states in $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric SU(3) Yang-Mills theory

Understand

The physical particles in supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (SYM) are bound states of gluons and gluinos.

• We have determined the masses of the lightest bound states in SU(3) $\mathcal{N}=1$ SYM.
• Our simulations cover a range of different lattice spacings, which for the first time allows an extrapolation to the continuum limit.
• Our results show the formation of a supermultiplet of bound states, which provides a clear evidence for unbroken supersymmetry.
