Summary

Description	English: A diagram summarizing interactions between elementary particles according to the Standard Model. Vertices (dark ovals) represent types of particles, and edges (blue arcs) represent interactions between them. Multiple generations of types of particle (leptons, quarks) share an oval. An arc that links to a box is equivalent to a set of arcs that link to every oval in the box; this clarifies patterns and avoids clutter. The top row (leptons and quarks) are the matter particles; a second tier of vertices (photon, W/Z, gluons) are the force-mediating particles; and the Higgs boson is placed at the bottom.

This diagram image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.

It is recommended to name the SVG file “Elementary particle interactions in the Standard Model.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
