Teaching the Standard Model with charges and interactions
This article is part of the proceedings of the GIREP-MPTL conference 2018. It describes the key ideas and argumentation steps of the teaching approach developed by Netzwerk Teilchenwelt for the introduction of the base concepts of the Standard Model of particle physics, namely charges, interactions and particles. This approach is the basis for the four-volume…

Asimmetrie n. 18: #newphysics
The discovery of the Higgs boson came at the end of a long journey, where the direction was marked, but the road had to be built. What now? Now the physicists are looking out onto a world we don’t know, where there are no paths, and even the directions to be followed aren’t very clear.…
