Abstract

All the low-energy successes of the standard electroweak gauge model are shown to follow in a more phenomenological model based on global SU(2) broken by γ-W° mixing. Weinberg’s mass predictions need not be valid. Connections with recent composite models of W and Z are also discussed.

Senior Scientist Awardee (Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung) on leave from the University of California, Los Angeles.

Lectures given at the XXI. Internationale Universitätswochen für Kernphysik, Schladming, Austria, February 25–March 6, 1982.
