⭐ Core Definition: Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model

In particle physics, NMSSM is an acronym for Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. It is a supersymmetric extension to the Standard Model that adds an additional singlet chiral superfield to the MSSM and can be used to dynamically generate the term, solving the -problem. Articles about the NMSSM are available for review.

The Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model does not explain why the parameter in the superpotential term is at the electroweak scale. The idea behind the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model is to promote the term to a gauge singlet, chiral superfield . Note that the scalar superpartner of the singlino is denoted by and the spin-1/2 singlino superpartner by in the following. The superpotential for the NMSSM is given by

Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model in the context of Physics beyond the Standard Model

Physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM) refers to the theoretical developments needed to explain the deficiencies of the Standard Model, such as the inability to explain the fundamental parameters of the Standard Model, the strong CP problem, neutrino oscillations, matter–antimatter asymmetry, and the nature of dark matter and dark energy. Another problem lies within the mathematical framework of the Standard Model itself: the Standard Model is inconsistent with that of general relativity, and one or both theories break down under certain conditions, such as spacetime singularities like the Big Bang and black hole event horizons.

Theories that lie beyond the Standard Model include various extensions of the standard model through supersymmetry, such as the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) and Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM), and entirely novel explanations, such as string theory, M-theory, and extra dimensions. As these theories tend to reproduce the entirety of current phenomena, the question of which theory is the right one, or at least the "best step" towards a Theory of Everything, can only be settled via experiments, and is one of the most active areas of research in both theoretical and experimental physics.
