James Bjorken, The November Revolution: A Theorist Reminisces (1985) [spire:214067]
The big international conference of 1974 in London was a turning point […] Ellis’ catalog well reflected the state of theoretical confusion and general disarray in trying to interpret the data. But in the midst of all of this was a talk by John Iliopoulos (I think I was there too). With passionate zealotry, he laid out with great accuracy what we call the standard model. Everything was there: proton decay, charm, the GIM mechanism of course, QCD, the electroweak theory, grand unification, Higgs, etc. It was all presented with absolute conviction and sounded at the time just a little mad, at least to me (I am a conservative).
On gauge theory/Yang-Mills theory:
The first actual statement of what came to be called the standard model of particle physics (cf. Bjorken 1985):
