Abstract

The Standard Model (SM) is a successful description of particle physics nowadays. It is a quantum field theory that explains the dynamics of our universe through matter and forces. It incorporates three fundamental forces: the weak, the strong and the electromagnetic forces, and includes different types of particles.
