The standard model at low energies

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The hadronic sector of the standard model at low energies is described by a nondecoupling effective field theory, chiral perturbation theory. An introduction is given to the construction of effective chiral Lagrangians, both in the purely mesonic sector and with inclusion of baryons. The connection between the relativistic formulation and the heavy baryon approach to chiral perturbation theory with baryons is reviewed.
