The charged combinations of weak-isospin gauge fields that mediate charged-current weak interactions.
wp-physics-w_bosonpdg-standard-modeltong-particleEach relation below ends at this concept.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
The charged weak gauge combinations acquire mass through the Higgs mechanism.
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.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
The charged weak fields generate charged-current amplitudes in perturbative electroweak theory.
A theory, law, or interaction describes the behavior of the target within a stated regime. The edge detail must state important limits or qualifications.
wp-physics-w_bosonpdg-standard-modeltong-particlewp-physics-weak_interactionThis is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
The charged bosons are excitations of the charged weak fields.
The source is a material constituent, structural component, or underlying quantum field whose excitation realizes the target physical system or particle. The edge label and detail must distinguish composition from field excitation; neither implies a simple classical sum of parts.
wp-physics-w_bosonpdg-standard-modelThis is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
The charged fields generate charged-current weak processes.
A theory, law, or interaction describes the behavior of the target within a stated regime. The edge detail must state important limits or qualifications.
