Standard Model Lagrangian

1. The Lagrangian describes the Standard Model of particle physics, including terms for gauge bosons, fermion masses and interactions, and the Higgs field. 2. It contains terms for the electromagnetic, weak, and strong interactions mediated by photons, W/Z bosons, and gluons. 3. Masses for the W, Z bosons and fermions like electrons arise from their interactions with the Higgs field after electroweak symmetry breaking.

is a 2-component complex Higgs field. Since L is SU(2) gauge invariant, a gauge can be chosen so has the form

T = (0, v + h)/ 2 ,
<>T0 = (expectation value of ) = (0, v)/ 2 ,

v 2/2]2/2v 2 is minimized, and h is a residual Higgs field.
where v is a real constant such that L = ( ) m2h [
B , W and G are the gauge boson vector potentials, and W and G are composed of 22 and 33 traceless
Hermitian matrices. Their associated field tensors are
B = B B ,

W = W W +ig2 (W W W W )/2,

G = G G +ig(G G G G ). (6)

The non-matrix A , Z , W bosons are mixtures of W and B components, according to the weak mixing angle w ,

A = W11 sinw +B cosw ,


Z = W11 cosw B sinw , W+ = W = W12 / 2,

B = A cosw Z sinw , W11 = W22 = A sinw +Z cosw ,

The fermions include the leptons eR , eL , R , L and quarks uR , uL , dR , dL . They all have implicit 3-component generation indices, ei =(e, , ), i =(e , , ), ui =(u, c, t), di =(d, s, b), which contract into the fermion mass matrices

The quarks also have implicit 3-component color indices which contract into G . So L really has implicit sums
over 3-component generation indices, 2-component Pauli indices, 3-component color indices in the quark terms, and

linear combinations of those in L, or conversely the fermions in L are linear combinations of the true fermions,

When L is written in terms of the true fermions, the Us fall out except in u
L ULu

Because of this, and some absorption of constants into the fermion fields, all the parameters in the Us are contained in only four components of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix Vq = ULu Ud
L and four components of the
Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata matrix Vl = UL ULe. The unitary matrices Vq and Vl are often parameterized as
