Electroweak Symmetry Breaking
Linked via "SU(3)_C"
Mass Generation for Gauge Bosons
The masses for the weak force carriers ($W^{\pm}$ and $Z^0$) are generated through the kinetic term of the Higgs field in the Lagrangian after symmetry breaking. The photon ($\gamma$) and the gluon ($g$) remain massless because the associated symmetries ($U(1){EM} and $SU(3)C$) are not broken by the choice of vacuum.
The re…
