4 Standard Model “Theory of Everything”?
6 quarks* (u,d,s,c,b,t) 6 leptons (e,,,e,,) gauge bosons (,W,Z,g) Higgs boson ~10-18m D=4 + supersymmetry? particle  sparticle bottom up top down dark matter? bottom up + string, brane theory? M-Theory? ~10-35m D=11? *quarks and gluons confined in hadrons: Baryons (p,n), Mesons () “Theory of Everything”?

5 energy scales αs αw αEM Unification of couplings?
MPl Quantum Gravity Unification of couplings? Smallness of neutrino mass Unitarity of WW scattering Hierarchy problem? hierarchy αs αw αEM E Mgut Grand unification? susy Susy? LHC collisions TeV Mweak EWSB Physics by scale

6 the key scientific themes
particle physics the key scientific themes the origin of mass the origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe the properties of neutrinos the unification of particles and forces including gravity the properties of the strong interaction dark matter
