Popis:	We propose a global symmetry-breaking mechanism based on an extension of the vibronic (cooperative Jahn-Teller) effects (comprising electron-phonon superpartners) to generalize them into fermion-boson superpartners. Examples of superpairs are constructed by combining phonons, photons, pi-mesons, etc. with electrons, holes, nucleons, etc. in condensed and nuclear matter. The obtained symmetry-breaking mechanism operating amidst the superpartner pairs may be just what is needed to justify the status of supersymmetry as a broken-symmetry phenomenon. Following the extended vibronic mixing of fermion states by the appropriate heavy boson superpartner, the latter propagates along a helical path away from the mixing site. Comment: 7 pdf pages
