The Standard Model of particle physics is a [[quantum field theory]] that explains electromagnetism, strong and weak nuclear interactions in a unified framework.  It is a non-[[abelian]] gauge theory with the gauge group SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1).

The '''Standard Model''' of [[particle]] physics is a [[quantum field theory]] that explains [[electromagnetism]], [[Strong force|strong]] and [[Weak force|weak]] [[nuclear]] interactions in a unified framework.  It is a non-[[abelian]] gauge theory with the gauge [[Group (mathematics)|group]] [[Unitary group|SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1)]].

It was formulated in the 1970s and has withstood all experimental tests. It has only been modified by adding mass to the electron neutrino. Physicists have just announced the discovery of its most enigmatic prediction, the [[Higgs boson]].
