The Standard Model in 2001

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v6

Abstract

The Standard Model of electroweak and strong interactions is reviewed in a pedagogical set of lectures. After an introduction to the quarks, leptons, and gauge bosons, an elementary discussion of gauge theories is given, with application to quantum chromodynamics. The physics of WW bosons, electroweak unification, and ZZ bosons is then described, ending with a discussion of precision electroweak experiments and the light they can shed on the Higgs boson and other physics.
