electroweak, a. Particle Physics.|ɪˌlɛktrəʊˈwiːk|
[f. electro-magnetic a. + weak a.]
Of, pertaining to, or designating the unified weak and electromagnetic interactions as proposed in certain unified field theories, according to which these interactions are different low-energy manifestations of a single interaction.
1978Sci. News 11 Nov. 327/2 Abdus Salam, one of the people who started the work on the unified field theory, has been going around calling it ‘electroweak’. 1981A. Salam in J. H. Mulvey Nature of Matter v. 124 Unification of the electro-weak and the strong nuclear force leads to the prediction of an unstable proton. 1982V. I. Kisin tr. Okun's Leptons & Quarks xxii. 199 The prediction of neutral currents constituted the main contribution of the unified electroweak model to the domain of weak interactions at low energies, that is energies of the existing accelerators. 1984D. G. Giancoli Gen. Physics xliii. 857 The electroweak theory has had many successes, including the prediction of the W{pm} particles. 1986Sci. Amer. July 35/3 About 10-35 second after the big bang the strong force separated from the electroweak force. |
