General electroweak mixing models and extended gauge theories

  • Published:

Abstract

General electroweak mixing schemes containing an arbitrary number of weak bosons and agreeing with the predictions of the standard model for neutrino scattering and polarized electron scattering in the low energy approximation are analyzed using the propagator matrix formalism. The mean charged boson mass is bounded while the mean neutral boson mass is unbounded and determined as a function of the mean charged one. Under a special assumption on the electroweak mixing parameters the four fermion interaction agrees with the one of extended gauge theories and the mean boson masses agree with the boson masses of the standard model.
