Abstract

The standard model (SM) provides a detailed description of the electroweak and strong interactions, which is compatible with all the presently known experimental observations and data. Our aim in this chapter is to review its main properties, paying an special attention to its symmetries and the way they are realized. The motivation of this review is to establish the framework for the analysis in the following chapters, in which we will apply the effective Lagrangian formalism to some of the less-known sectors of the SM.
