Symmetries and the breaking of symmetries play an important role in particle physics. Several experts in the field give overviews of different symmetry aspects in subatomic physics. Topics like CP violation, chiral symmetry, supersymmetry and spontaneous symmetry breaking are addressed. The articles...
