Test of Supersymmetry in theIr193→Pt194Proton-Stripping Reactions

A breakdown of the selection rules of the supersymmetry model is observed for the population of the $0_2^{+}$ and $2_2^{+}$ levels of ${}_{}{}^{194}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Pt}$ in the ${}_{}{}^{193}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ir}$→ ${}_{}{}^{194}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Pt}$ proton-stripping reactions performed with use of the Orsay and McMaster University tandem accelerators. The existence of other violations in the neighboring nuclei leads one to believe that the limitations of the supersymmetry scheme itself are being seen, at least for particle-transfer reactions.
