I plan to work on the entries for the various SUSY particles. Any input/help would be greatly appreciated!

Fine Grained Detectors

Fine Grained Detectors are a type of particle detector used in experiments to track particles and provide a large target mass with which the particles can interact.

Sfermion

In particle physics, a sfermion is the spin-0 superpartner of the fermion. The sfermions are predicted by supersymmetry which states that every particle has a superpartner with a spin that differs by 1/2. The name 'sfermion' is a contraction of scalar fermion. In general the name of a sfermion is formed by adding an 's' to the name of the partner fermion. For instance, the electron's superpartner is the selectron and the up top quark's superpartner is the stop squark.

Fundamental sfermions

Squark

The squark is the superpartner of the SM quarks. These include the sup aquark, sdown squark, scharm squark, sstrange squark, stop squark, and sbottom squark.

Slepton

The slepton is the superpartner of the SM leptons. These include the selectron, smuon, stau lepton, and the sneutrino.
