An Introduction to the Standard Model of Particle Physics Pages: The new edition of this introductory graduate textbook provides a concise but accessible introduction to the Standard Model. Buy An Introduction to the Standard Model of Particle Physics in ebook format. Suggested in 1962 by Philip Warren Anderson and developed into a full model in 1964 independently and almost simultaneously by three groups of physicists: by François Englert and Robert Brout; by Peter Higgs; and by Gerald Guralnik, C. In 1964, Higgs wrote two papers, each just two pages long, on what is now known as The Higgs boson is the last undiscovered particle predicted by the Standard Model, a beautiful mathematical framework physicists use to describe the smallest bits of matter and how they interact. But this was a blessing in disguise, since it led Higgs to add a paragraph introducing the now-famous Higgs particle. I think that this is probably the greatest intellectual achievement of the last quarter of the 20th Century. The Higgs field, which can be visualized similarly to a electromagnetic field that permeates all over space interacts with particles like quarks, leptons and bosons and gives them mass. I was pretty This introductory statement was shocking. This lecture was important for understanding the scientific arguments and the sociology of the particle physicists' community.
