Phenomenology of Particle Physics

Researchers in this area, which bridges theoretical physics (such as quantum field theory and theories of the structure of spacetime) and experimental particle physics, are exploring: beyond the…

Phenomenology of Particle Physics
String Theory and Quantum Gravity

Unification of  General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics into a  coherent theory of Quantum Gravity has been one of the outstanding challenges in theoretical physics.  Such a framework is…
