Sparticle Cascade Decay & Missing Transverse Energy (2D)

Interactive 2D SUSY collider event display: produce a gluino/squark pair, watch its cascade decay chain into quark jets plus an invisible neutralino, and read off the missing transverse energy (MET) vector that betrays the escaping dark-matter candidate, drawn top-down in the transverse plane.

This simulator recreates, as a flat top-down collider event display, the core signature LHC experiments use to hunt for supersymmetry: a gluino–squark pair is produced back-to-back in the transverse plane, then each sparticle cascades down through real, energy-momentum-conserving two-body decays until it reaches the neutralino — the lightest supersymmetric particle, stable and invisible under R-parity conservation. Every quark jet you see is drawn from an actual boosted 2D momentum computed with the relativistic two-body decay formula and Lorentz boost, not a canned animation. Because the neutralino escapes without depositing energy, the visible jets alone fail to balance — the missing transverse energy (MET) vector you see is exactly that imbalance, verified live against the hidden neutralino momentum, the same quantity ATLAS and CMS scan for as evidence of escaping dark-matter candidates.

⚙ Under the hood

Collide to produce a gluino/squark pair and watch their cascade decay, revealing quark jets and invisible neutralinos. Adjust sparticle masses and view missing transverse energy.
