Summary

We have now collected all the building blocks to write down the most up-to-date theory of particle physics. As we have seen in the previous chapters, it took several decades to develop it, basically in several stages during the second half of the 20th century. Its current form was finalized during the 1970s. The Standard Model (SM) describes the electromagnetic, weak, and strong interactions (but not gravity) among fundamental fermions of Nature.
