Experimental Status of Gauge Theories

  • Chapter
Particles and Fields 2

  • 133 Accesses

Abstract

Our present thinking is that all theories of the interactions between the fundamental constituents of the universe are renormalizable gauge theories. In these lectures, my task is to try to critically assess the experimental evidence for this conclusion; to compare the data in detail with the predictions of the gauge theories of the electroweak and strong interactions; and to discuss the prospects for obtaining experimental evidence relating to the schemes (GUTs) unifying strong and electroweak interactions.
