In particle physics, a superpartner (also sparticle) is a class of hypothetical elementary particles predicted by supersymmetry, which, among other applications, is one of the well-studied ways to extend the standard model of high-energy physics.[1][2]
When considering extensions of the Standard Model, the s- prefix from sparticle is used to form names of superpartners of the Standard Model fermions (sfermions),[3] e.g. the stop squark. The superpartners of Standard Model bosons have an -ino (bosinos)[3] appended to their name, e.g. gluino, the set of all gauge superpartners are called the gauginos.
