=== Model Files ===
   * [/attachment/wiki/StandardModel/SM.fr SM.fr] : This is the new main file (!FeynRules versions >= v1.6.2).  
   * [/attachment/wiki/StandardModel/SM_old.fr SM_old.fr] : This is the older implementation (!FeynRules versions < v1.6.2).  
=== Model Restrictions ===
   * [/attachment/wiki/StandardModel/Massless.rst Massless.rst]: Only the top, bottom and charm quarks, and the tau lepton are massive. 
   * [/attachment/wiki/StandardModel/DiagonalCKM.rst DiagonalCKM.rst]: The CKM maktrix is diagonal. 
   * [/feynrules/attachment/wiki/StandardModel/Cabibbo.rst Cabibbo.rst]: 3rd generation mixing is off. 
=== Instructions ===
The Standard Model (SM) is implemented in both Feynman and unitary gauge. A switch  {{{FeynmanGauge}}}  has been created. To switch between the two simply set {{{FeynmanGauge = True/False}}} inside your mathematica notebook after loading the model but before doing any calculations with it (finding vertices for example.) {{{FeynmanGauge}}} is set to {{{False}}} by default.
=== Examples ===
   * [/attachment/wiki/StandardModel/SM.nb SM.nb]: This is an example Mathematica® notebook that loads SM.fr and calculates Feynman rules. 

=== Validation ===
The SM implementation was extensively tested on various 2-to-2 processes. A selection is shown in [/attachment/wiki/StandardModel/XS1.jpg this table]. (Note that the discrepancy with MG stock simply comes from the fact that MG stock has the 4 higgs vertex not implemented).
