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

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 )

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.

Thanks!

And thanks for the advice.
 
If you need material on basic Lagrangian Relativistic Quantum Field Theory, please let us know if you can't find it on google.
 
Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...
I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
