Title:  Renormalization group explanations in particle physics

Abstract: Despite the highly analogous forms that renormalization group methods take in particle physics and condensed matter physics, there are key modal differences between these domains. This leads to different types of explanatory aims in particle physics. Rather than explaining universality, the renormalization group is used to explain why renormalizable theories are successful despite the unimportance of renormalizability, lowest upper bounds on continued success of the Standard Model, and insensitivity to counterfactual variation. I critically examine whether the renormalization group can underwrite a form of prospective realism in particle physics.
