Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Standard Model (SM) is both at the height of its success and on the verge of being surpassed. Four decades of experimental measurements and tests of the Standard Model have resulted in a number of successful discoveries. Although the Standard Model is at a pivotal moment in its history with the recent discovery of the Higgs Boson, yet it leaves many open questions.
Symmetry (as well as symmetry breaking) plays an important role in particle physics to understand the synthesis of the subatomic particles and the forces that govern them, with elegance that has far-reaching implications. In general, symmetries place constraints about the properties of the subatomic particles and the interactions between them. On the other hand, the consequence of broken symmetries provide an explanation how the strong, weak, and electromagnetic forces arise that dictate the nature of their interactions. Extensions of symmetry to supersymmetry (SUSY) have made theoretical advancements to the Standard Model. In this Special Issue of Symmetry we will focus on the applications and use of symmetry (including broken symmetry) and supersymmetry (SUSY) in field of High Energy Physics in topics that are both within the Standard Model (SM) and Beyond the Standard Model (BSM). Papers in both theoretical and experimental High Energy Physics will be accepted.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
