Product Information
The Standard Model of particle physics is a theory concerning the electromagnetic, weak, and strong nuclear interactions, as well as classifying all the subatomic particles kwn. It was developed throughout the latter half of the 20th century, as a collaborative effort of scientists around the world. The current formulation was finalized in the mid-1970's upon experimental confirmation of the existence of quarks. Since then, discoveries of the top quark (1995), the tau neutri (2000), and more recently the Higgs boson (2013), have given further credence to the Standard Model. Because of its success in explaining a wide variety of experimental results, the Standard Model is sometimes regarded as a theory of almost everything. Although the Standard Model is believed to be theoretically self-consistent and has demonstrated huge and continued successes in providing experimental predictions, it does leave some phemena unexplained and it falls short of being a complete theory of fundamental interactions. It does t incorporate the full theory of gravitation as described by general relativity, or account for the accelerating expansion of the universe (as possibly described by dark energy). The model does t contain any viable dark matter particle that possesses all of the required properties deduced from observational cosmology. It also does t incorporate neutri oscillations (and their n-zero masses). This book is designed to be a general overview of the topic and provide you with the structured kwledge to familiarize yourself with the topic at the most affordable price possible. The level of discussion is that of Wikipedia. The accuracy and kwledge is of an international viewpoint as the edited articles represent the inputs of many kwledgeable individuals and some of the most currently available general kwledge on the topic based on the date of publication.
