Standard Model Overview

This lecture provides an in-depth analysis of the Standard Model, covering topics such as the Higgs mechanism, gauge boson interactions, and the role of chirality in particle physics. The instructor delves into the fundamental parameters of the model, including the gauge couplings, Higgs mass, and quartic Higgs coupling. The lecture also explores the experimental measurements that have validated the Standard Model, such as the discovery of the W and Z bosons and the determination of the Weinberg angle. Additionally, the lecture touches on the organization of quarks and leptons into families and the peculiarities of left-handed and right-handed fermions in the context of SU2 interactions.
