I'm actually not sure which one is considered basic and non basic, I'm that lost. haha. Is a beta decay a basic interaction? Could you link the wikipedia page?mfb said:What is a "basic" interaction (and what is a non-basic one)?
As usual, the Wikipedia article gives a good introduction.
The Standard Model is a theory in particle physics that describes the basic building blocks of matter and the fundamental forces that govern their interactions.
The basic interactions in the Standard Model include the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, the electromagnetic force, and gravity (although gravity is not fully incorporated into the Standard Model).
The particles involved in the Standard Model include quarks, leptons, and bosons. Quarks and leptons are the building blocks of matter, while bosons are particles that carry the fundamental forces.
Particles interact through the exchange of bosons. For example, the strong nuclear force is mediated by the exchange of gluons between quarks, and the electromagnetic force is mediated by the exchange of photons between charged particles.
The Standard Model is significant because it has successfully predicted and explained a wide range of experimental results in particle physics. It also provides a framework for understanding the fundamental forces and particles in the universe.
