Editing Standard Model (section)

== Tests and predictions ==
The Standard Model predicted the existence of the [[W and Z bosons]], [[gluon]], [[top quark]] and [[charm quark]], and predicted many of their properties before these particles were observed. The predictions were experimentally confirmed with good precision.<ref>

The Standard Model also predicted the existence of the [[Higgs boson]], which was found in 2012 at the [[Large Hadron Collider]], the final fundamental particle predicted by the Standard Model to be experimentally confirmed.<ref>
