Electroweak theoryUA1 and UA2 discovery of the WW and ZZ bosons

Permalink to relation

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

Authored explanation

The measured masses and decay signatures confirmed the massive electroweak gauge-boson sector.

How to interpret this relation type

The source theory, law, entity, prediction, or structural claim is directly tested, supported, constrained, or established by the target experiment or observation. Experimental support is not final logical proof; the edge detail states exactly what was measured.

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

Authored explanation

Leptonic missing-energy events established charged WW production.

How to interpret this relation type

The source theory, law, entity, prediction, or structural claim is directly tested, supported, constrained, or established by the target experiment or observation. Experimental support is not final logical proof; the edge detail states exactly what was measured.

Permalink to relation

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

Authored explanation

Dilepton resonances established the neutral ZZ boson.

How to interpret this relation type

The source theory, law, entity, prediction, or structural claim is directly tested, supported, constrained, or established by the target experiment or observation. Experimental support is not final logical proof; the edge detail states exactly what was measured.
