The properties of scalar quarks are studied, especially the formation of
fermionic mesons with an anti-quark. On the basis of this theoretical
investigation together with the experimental data, both from last year and from
this year, of the ATLAS Collaboration and the CMS Collaboration at the Large
Hadron Collider, it is proposed that the standard model of Glashow, Weinberg,
and Salam should be augmented by scalar quarks, scalar leptons, and additional
fermions. If these scalar quarks and scalar leptons are in one-to-one
correspondence with the ordinary quarks and ordinary leptons, either in number
or in the degrees of freedom, then there may be a fermion-boson symmetry. The
fermion-boson symmetry obtained this way is of a different nature from that of
supersymmetry.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figur
