La Physique Théorique des Hautes Energies en France
Authors: Jean Iliopoulos
Abstract: The year 2023 marks three anniversaries: the 150th anniversary of the French Physical Society, the 100th anniversary since the publication of Louis de Broglie's articles (the first fundamental articles of Quantum Mechanics) and the 50th anniversary of the Standard Model, the theory which describes in a unified framework the strong, the electromagnetic and the weak interactions among elementary particles. This note is an attempt to present the situation of theoretical physics in France during these years and highlight the french contributions in this world effort. We shall see that, although these contributions have been important, french theorists rarely played the leading roles. At the end I will try to draw some conclusions from these findings.
