constants of standard model

masses of electron, muon, and tau leptons (3)

masses of six quarks: up, down, strange, charm, top, bottom (6)

mixing matrix of the down-type quarks, which is parameterized by four independent angles. To find out more, look up "CKM Matrix" or "Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa Mixing Matrix" (4)

The strong coupling constant alpha_s (1)

The fine structure constant alpha_em (1)

The Fermi constant G_F (governs weak decay rates) (1)

The Z boson mass M_Z (1)

The Higgs boson mass (1) (the W mass can be calculated from the other parameters and the theory)

Gravity has a strength parameterized by G_N, Newton’s gravitational constant (1).

That’s 19. Two constants, the speed of light and Planck’s constant, define our units of length and time and energy.

The neutrino masses are another 3, and they have a mixing matrix just like the down-type quarks for another four parameters, for a total of 28.

These are the constants of the Standard Model, which is incomplete.



The Standard Model fails to explain dark matter and dark energy. Dark energy may be parameterizable with just one more constant (Einstein’s famous "cosmological constant") or there may be a much richer set of things to understand about it.
