Foreword by Edward Witten ..... xi
Preface ..... xv

1: Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?
To understand nature we need to know about particles, forces, and rules
Research in progress (RIP) Equations?
Prediction, postdiction, and testing Where are the superpartners?
The boundaries of science have moved

2: The Standard Model of Particle Physics ..... 16 The forces
Mass, decays, and quanta
The particles: Do we really know the fundamental constituents of matter? Particles and fields
There are more particles
New ideas and remarkable predictions of the Standard Model Experimental foundations of the Standard Model Picturing Standard Model processes: Feynman diagrams Spin, fermions, and bosons
Beyond the Standard Model

3: Why Physics is the Easiest Science-Effective Theories ..... 40 Organizing effective theories by distance scales Supersymmetry is an effective theory too The physics of the Planck scale
Effective theories replace renormalization
The human scales

4: Supersymmetry and Sparticles ..... 53 What is Supersymmetry?
Some mysteries Supersymmetry would solve
The superpartners supersymmetry as a spacetime symmetry: superspace Hidden or "broken" Supersymmetry

5: Testing Supersymmetry Experimentally ..... 72 Detectors and colliders
Recognizing superpartners Sparticles: their personalities, backgrounds, and signatures at LEP and Fermilab
Visit Fermilab
Future colliders Can we do the experiments we need to do?

6: What is the Universe Made of? ..... 98 What particles are there in the universe? Is the lightest superpartner the cold dark matter of the universe?
