Hypothetical composite Higgs model
In particle physics, the top quark condensate theory (or top condensation) is an alternative to the Standard Model fundamental Higgs field, where the Higgs boson is a composite field, composed of the top quark and its antiquark.

Symmetry between bosons and fermions
Supersymmetry is a theoretical framework in physics that suggests the existence of a symmetry between particles with integer spin (bosons) and particles with half-integer spin (fermions). It proposes that for every known particle, there exists a partner particle with different spin properties.

Particle physics process
Higgs boson pair production, also known as di-Higgs production (HH), is a process in particle physics regarding the self-interactions of the Higgs boson. This process is essential for testing the structure of the Higgs potential and the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB).

Hypothetical particle decay process of a proton
Proton decay is the key process to test the stability of matter and baryon number conservation and has long been a subject of both theoretical and experimental interests.

Breakdown of conformal symmetry at the quantum level
A conformal anomaly, scale anomaly, trace anomaly or Weyl anomaly is an anomaly, i.e. a quantum phenomenon that breaks the conformal symmetry of the classical theory.

Theory of quantum gravity merging quantum mechanics and general relativity
Loop quantum gravity (LQG) is a theory of quantum gravity that incorporates matter of the Standard Model into the framework established for the intrinsic quantum gravity case.

Model of subatomic particles
The toroidal ring model, known originally as the Parson magneton or magnetic electron, is a physical model of subatomic particles. It is also known as the plasmoid ring, vortex ring, or helicon ring.

Hypothetical physical concept
A theory of everything or final theory is a hypothetical coherent theoretical framework of physics containing all physical principles. The scope of the concept of a "theory of everything" varies.

Creation of particle-antiparticle pair from a neutral boson
Pair production is the creation of a subatomic particle and its antiparticle from a neutral boson. Examples include creating an electron and a positron, a muon and an antimuon, or a proton and an antiproton.

Observed discrepancy in galactic angular momenta
The rotation curve of a disc galaxy (also called a velocity curve) is a plot of the orbital speeds of visible stars or gas in that galaxy versus their radial distance from that galaxy's centre.

Model of hadrons
In particle physics, the parton model is a model of hadrons, such as protons and neutrons, proposed by Richard Feynman. It is useful for interpreting the cascades of radiation (a parton shower) produced from quantum chromodynamics (QCD) processes and interactions in high-energy particle collisions.
