The ten challenges of subnuclear physics

The vitality of subnuclear physics is proved by the existence of its challenges, which are presented and discussed with reference to their implementation in the near future. These are nonperturbative QCD; anomalies and instantons; the physics of nonspontaneous symmetry breaking; imaginary masses and Higgs bosons; the physics of 43 dimensions (part of this is supersymmetry); flavour mixing in the quark sector; flavour mixing in the leptonic sector; missing mass in the Universe; hierarchy problem; physics at the Planck scale and the number of expanded dimensions.
