Description
A unified description of fundamental interactions requires physics
beyond the Standard Model of strong, weak and electromagnetic
forces. Key ingredient is a grand unified gauge group,
but there needs to be more. We review arguments for the existence
of extra space dimensions and supersymmetry that complete this quest
for unification. We then analyze possible observational tests in
particle physics and cosmology.
