Read article 'Fifty years of the renormalization group'
Renormalization was the breakthrough that made quantum field theory respectable in the late 1940s. Since then, renormalization procedures, particularly the renormalization group method, have remained ...

Read article 'Glimpses of superhistory'
Nearly 30 years after its discovery, supersymmetry remains the prime candidate to cure all of the ills of our understanding of elementary particle behaviour. Putting aside the question of experimenta...
Read article 'Looking at physics in a rarefied atmosphere'
Last year the annual DESY Theory Workshop focused on rare physics - the physics that's hardest to do and sometimes difficult to understand. Andrzej Buras reports.
Read article 'Supersymmetry physics on (and off) the brane'
The search for supersymmetry, or other physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) is becoming ever more tantalizing. The idea that the SM is theoretically incomplete is an old one. There is now a whole ...
