1. Weak Isospin

   Linked via "doublet (descriptor)"

   The concept of weak isospin arises directly from the mathematical structure of the weak force. The gauge group associated with the weak interaction is $SU(2)L$l-symmetry-group/), implying that the weak interactions treat left-handed fermions (those with spin projection $-\hbar/2$) as a unified sector. This symmetry, often referred to as the weak isospin symmetry, is spontaneously broken down to the electromagnetic $U(1)Y$ symmetryy-symmetry/) via the Higgs mechanism, resulting in the massive $W^\p…
