Abstract

The remarkable progress in our understanding of particle physics in the last ten years has convincingly provided a picture of elementary interactions (excluding gravity) based on the “standard model”:

$$SU{\left( 3 \right)_{colour}} \times {\left[ {SU\left( 2 \right) \times U\left( 1 \right)} \right]_{electroweak}} $$
