This wikipedia article on the standard model is really good

In summary, the standard model is a widely accepted theory in particle physics that describes the behavior of matter and energy at a subatomic level. It explains the interactions of fundamental particles and their role in creating the properties and behaviors of matter and energy. The model describes three families of particles (quarks, leptons, and bosons) and four fundamental forces (gravity, electromagnetism, strong and weak nuclear forces). However, it has limitations in explaining certain phenomena such as gravity, dark matter, and the difference between matter and antimatter. Scientists are currently working on theories beyond the standard model to address these limitations.

I just wanted to get this out of my system. I'm not talking about the main article on SM but the mathematical formulation one:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Model_(mathematical_formulation)

Very, very hard to find good summarized material on SM out there. It's either good coverage but spread out in several volumes or summarized for layman audience. So, to Whomever wrote this, thanks!

Thanks for sharing! It looks pretty good.
 

What is the standard model?

The standard model is a theory in particle physics that describes the fundamental particles and their interactions. It is currently the most successful and widely accepted theory that explains the behavior of matter and energy at a subatomic level.

What are the fundamental particles described in the standard model?

The standard model describes three families of particles: quarks, leptons, and bosons. Quarks and leptons are the building blocks of matter, while bosons are particles that mediate the fundamental forces of nature.

What are the four fundamental forces described in the standard model?

The standard model describes four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, strong nuclear force, and weak nuclear force. These forces are mediated by different types of bosons.

How does the standard model explain the behavior of matter and energy?

The standard model explains the behavior of matter and energy through the interactions of fundamental particles. It describes how particles interact through the exchange of bosons, and how these interactions give rise to the properties and behaviors of matter and energy.

What are some of the limitations of the standard model?

The standard model is unable to explain certain phenomena, such as gravity and dark matter. It also does not account for the differences in behavior between matter and antimatter. Scientists are currently working on theories that go beyond the standard model to address these limitations.
