The strong, electromagnetic and weak couplings
Description
A brief review, aimed at non-specialists, is given of present knowledge of the parameters needed to describe strong and electroweak interactions at energies up to a few hundred GeV. Empirical evidence that the strong and electroweak couplings converge to a single 'grand unified' coupling at much higher energies is reviewed and the uncertainties in the calculation of the proton lifetime in the minimal SU(5) theory are discussed.
