Weinberg-Salam theory Weinberg-Salam theory[′wīn‚bərg sə′läm ‚thē·ə·rē] (particle physics) A gage theory in which the electromagnetic and weak nuclear interactions are described by a single unifying framework in which both have a characteristic coupling paramenter equal to the fine-structure constant; it predicts the existence of intermediate vector bosons and neutral current interactions. Also known as Salam-Weinberg theory. |
