Finding the Standard Model of Physics

[schrod's dog]

Where can someone find the entire standard model?

This is the one I've been using -

not sure if it's commonly used by members of this forum

In what sense to you want to find it? ;-)

The Standard Model is:

(QED) x (QCD) x (ElectroWeak)

Try http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0001283

http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/0810/0810.3328v1.pdf

http://arxiv.org/abs/0705.4264

What i ment by standard model was the page of calculations.

 

[malawi_glenn]

"the page of calculations"

??

 

[schrod's dog]

The entire page saying how they worked it out or something.

If u go on wiki, somewere around the middle of the page, you can see parts of it.

 

[malawi_glenn]

So was any of the pages which I linked to of any interest?

There is a good popular book called "the theory of almost everything" by Robert Oerter which outlines the history and formulation of the standard model.

hmmm

I couldn't find this book.

Are you talking about the standard model Lagrangian?

Try searching google for it.

Sean Carroll has it at:

Technically, the **FULL** standard model - everything about everything about particle physics (and more!) is at www-pdg.lbl.gov. This is the particle physics almanac. But it's VERY technical, I'm not sure what it is you're looking for. If you're just a casual person, this is not the place for you. If you're a student or researcher, then this place is heaven! ;-)

The Standard Model (SM) isn't a page of calculations.

If you want to understand it you first need an appreciation of electrodynamics, relativity and quantum mechanics for a start. You then need to master relativistic quantum mechanics while in your spare time learning very advanced calculus, linear algebra, ODE's, PDE's and complex analysis...oh, some group theory wouldn't go amiss. Then you could tackle quantum field theory, and after at least 6 months of hard work you might say you had a good feel for the standard model.
