Abstract:
A dynamically broken hadron supersymmetry appears to exist as a consequence of QCD. The reasons for the supersymmetry appear most transparently in the framework of the constituent quark model with a diquark approximation to two quarks. Applications of the supersymmetry have led to relations between meson and baryon masses and to predictions that certain kinds of exotic hadrons should not be observed. I summarize the successful applications and discuss possible future directions for this research.
