Signatures of Vectorlike Weak Currents

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Studies in the Natural Sciences ((SNS,volume 10))

Abstract

The general framework of a vectorlike gauge theory of leptons, quarks, and gauge bosons is sketched and particular characteristic features involving the virtual excitation of heavy fermions which are entering the charged weak current right- and left-handedly are discussed and confronted with the non-leptonic decays of strange particles.
