What’s on the The Standard Model poster
A 4-row table: Group · Members.
The fundamental particles.
- Quarks — up, down, charm, strange, top, bottom
- Leptons — electron, muon, tau and 3 neutrinos
- Gauge bosons — photon, gluon, W, Z
- Scalar — Higgs boson
Gravity is not in the Standard Model. That gap is the central unsolved problem in fundamental physics.
Questions about the The Standard Model poster
- What’s on the The Standard Model poster?
- A 4-row table: Group · Members. The fundamental particles. Quarks — up, down, charm, strange, top, bottom; Leptons — electron, muon, tau and 3 neutrinos; Gauge bosons — photon, gluon, W, Z; Scalar — Higgs boson. Gravity is not in the Standard Model. That gap is the central unsolved problem in fundamental physics.
- Who is the The Standard Model poster for?
- The Standard Model belongs to the Physics section rather than to a school year, because physical science is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning quantum can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the The Standard Model poster?
- Twelve matter particles, four force carriers, one Higgs. That is everything confirmed. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so The Standard Model belongs on the wall where that physical science work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with The Standard Model?
- Quantum Numbers, Blackbody Radiation and Conservation Laws sit alongside The Standard Model in the Physics section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Quantum NumbersBlackbody RadiationConservation Laws
- Is the The Standard Model poster free to download and print?
- Yes. The Standard Model downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Physics section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the The Standard Model poster print at?
- The Standard Model is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of The Standard Model loses nothing.Printing guide
