Would anyone care to explain this equation/model to me?

Here is the link:
http://ocw.mit.edu/NR/rdonlyres/Physics/8-033Fall-2006/30327616-EA68-417E-BFE8-78D72DEDDEC6/0/lecture9_lagrang.pdf [Broken]

To be a little more specific, it is on the fourth slide, and is labeled as "The Standard Model Lagrangian".

Can you say WHAT you don't understand?

it is just the kinetic terms and interaction and mass terms for all the particle fields in the standard model, all quarks, leptons, bosons etc.

here is a more compact:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_model_(basic_details [Broken])

the SM Lagrangian is the sum of all those partial Lagrangian, and the fields are vectors to make it more compact notation.

Now in the future, please do better - more descriptive - titles, and also be more specific in the question - the more specific the question is - the more likely is it that you will get response.

If you need material on basic Lagrangian Relativistic Quantum Field Theory, please let us know if you can't find it on google.
 

1. What does "explain this" mean?

"Explain this" is a common phrase used when someone is seeking further clarification or understanding about a particular topic or concept. It is an invitation for someone to provide a more detailed or simplified explanation.

2. Why is it important to have something explained?

Having something explained can help us better understand a topic or concept, leading to increased knowledge and clarity. It can also help us make informed decisions and solve problems more effectively.

3. Who can explain something?

Anyone can explain something, as long as they have knowledge or understanding about the topic. This could be a teacher, scientist, expert, or even a friend or family member with personal experience on the subject.

4. How should something be explained?

The best way to explain something will vary depending on the audience and the complexity of the topic. It is important to use clear and concise language, provide examples or visuals if possible, and adapt the explanation to the level of understanding of the person receiving it.

5. Can an explanation be subjective?

Yes, an explanation can be subjective depending on the person providing it. It is important to consider the source and their biases when receiving an explanation. It is also helpful to seek multiple explanations in order to gain a well-rounded understanding of a topic.
