The Standard Model of particle physics is the theory describing three of the four known fundamental forces (electromagnetic, weak and strong interactions – excluding gravity) in the …

Developed in the early 1970s, it has successfully explained almost all experimental results and precisely predicted a wide variety of phenomena. Over time and through many experiments, …

Mar 26, 2025 · In this section, we introduce the Standard Model, which is the best current model of particle interactions. We describe the Standard Model in detail in terms of electromagnetic, …

The standard model is the name given in the 1970s to a theory of fundamental particles and how they interact. It incorporated all that was known about subatomic particles at the time and …

Dec 2, 2025 · Standard model, the combination of two theories of particle physics into a single framework to describe all interactions of subatomic particles, except those due to gravity.

May 23, 2025 · In the searing moments after the Big Bang, the fundamental particles and forces described by the Standard Model governed the universe’s primordial soup. Understanding …

All ordinary matter, including every atom on the periodic table of elements, consists of only three types of matter particles: up and down quarks, which make up the protons and neutrons in the …

Nov 20, 2024 · The Standard Model describes fundamental forces and matter, predicts phenomena, and highlights successes, limitations, and challenges in particle physics.

The Standard Model (SM) is a theory which classifies all fundamental particles based on their properties, and introduces rules that determine which interactions between them can occur …

For a very elementary introduction to the Standard Model, you could take a look at the lectures on Particle Physics that I wrote for the CERN summer school. They cover the subject in a great …
