Electroweak symmetry breakingElectroweak gauge-field mixing

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Electroweak symmetry breaking produces mass eigenstates by mixing the neutral weak-isospin and hypercharge fields.

How to interpret this relation type

Apply a standard functorial or canonical construction whose output is not merely a reduct of the input and is not generally an equivalent presentation of the same object.

Weak mixing angleElectroweak gauge-field mixing

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

The weak mixing angle parametrizes the neutral gauge-field rotation.

How to interpret this relation type

The source supplies a substantive formal ingredient, dynamical sector, law, field content, or mechanism of the target theoretical framework.
