   Salam's primary focus was research on the physics of elementary particles. His particular contributions included: two-component neutrino theory and the prediction of the inevitable parity violation in weak interaction; gauge unification of weak and electromagnetic interactions, the unified force is called the "Electroweak" force, a name given to it by Salam, and which forms the basis of the Standard Model in particle physics; predicted existence of weak neutral currents and W particles and Z particles before their experimental discovery, symmetry properties of elementary particles; unitary symmetry; renormalization of meson theories; gravity theory and its role in particle physics; two tensor theory of gravity and strong interaction physics; unification of electroweak with strong nuclear forces, grand unification theory; related prediction of proton-decay; Pati-Salam model, a grand unification theory; Super symmetry theory, in particular formulation of Superspace and formalism of super fields in 1974; the theory of super manifolds, as a geometrical framework for understanding super symmetry, in 1974; Super geometry, the geometric basis for super symmetry, in 1974; application of the Higgs mechanism to the electroweak symmetry breaking; prediction of the magnetic photon in 1966;
