Gauge Models

also known as Yang-Mills Models

A gauge model is a model where the way different particles or fields interact with each other is determined by a gauge symmetry.

The particles that mediate the gauge interaction are called gauge bosons.

Gauge theory means we use abstract symmetries, called U(1), SU(2) and SU(3) to derive the correct terms in the Lagrangian that describe interactions.
