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 ...

World Scientific's series on 20th century physics includes scientific anthologies about many famous figures and/or edited by many authoritative names.
Read article 'An Introduction to the Theory of Spinors'
This compact textbook provides an introduction to spinors and examples of their application in general relativity and gauge theories.
Read article 'The Quantum Theory of Fields III: Supersymmetry'
Sergio Ferrara reviews in 2000 The Quantum Theory of Fields III: Supersymmetry.
Read article 'Physicists brim with confidence'
In the quest for new, higher-precision measurements, handling experimental results is an essential and increasingly important part of modern research, but it is rarely discussed in the open. A rece...
Read article 'Dynamics and Relativity '
This a comprehensive textbook sets out to introduce special relativity to mathematicians, mathematical physicists and physicists in a natural way and avoid all "gee-whizz".
Read article 'Discovering new dimensions at LHC'
In an entirely new energy range and with its special experimental conditions, the LHC could also discover other new physics effects.
Read article 'UK theorists investigate new trends'
The traditional annual UK theory meeting at the Rutherford Laboratory is a good showcase for new theory trends.
