Summary
We discuss the possibility that the Cabibbo scheme for leptonic and semi-leptonic weak decays arises from charged-gauge-boson mixing in aSU 4 ×U 1 theory of weak electromagnetic interactions.
Riassunto
Si discute la possibilità che lo schema di Cabibbo per decadimenti deboli leptonici e semileptonici nasca dal miscelamento di bosoni di gauge carichi in una teoriaSU 4×U 1 di interazioni deboli elettromagnetiche.
Реэюме
Мы обсуждаем воэможность, что схема Кабиббо для лептонных и полулептонных слабых распадов воэникает иэ смещивания эаряженных калибровочных боэонов вSU 4 ×U 1 теории слабых и злектромагнитных вэаимодействий.
