The Standard Model in 2001
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 W bosons, electroweak unification, and Z 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.
