Abstract
The last ten years has seen a revolution of sorts in our understanding of the weak interaction phenomena. The four-fermion V-A theory suggested in 1957 by Sudarshan, Marshak, Feynman, Gell-Mann and Sakurai has provided an extremely successful description of observed low energy weak charged current processes. During the decade of the sixties, Glashow, Salam and Weinberg have shown that this theory emerges at low energies out of a renormalizable spontaneously broken gauge theory1 based on the gauge group SU(2)L, × U(1), which in addition, predicts new effects associated with weak neutral currents with definite internal spin structure.

Since the second stage of symmetry breaking also induces a non-zero vev for the Higgs fields ΔL. i. e., the actual form of Mν is: which gives, mν= (γf2-h2) κ2/fvR. The important point to note, however, is that as VR ➝ ∞, mν ➝ 0.

This connection was realized in a composite model by H. Harari, R. N. Mohapatra and N. Seiberg, Nuc. Phys. B209, 174 (1982).
A Higgs model realization of this idea has been discussed recently by J. C. Pati, A. Salam and U. Sarkar, U. of Md. Preprint (1983).
