Abstract
At this moment the Weinberg-GIM model1) of weak and e.m. interactions agrees very well to within some 10 %, with the low energy data. Up to now no explicit verification has been made of the existence of vector bosons, charged and neutral, and also not of the Higgs system. In other words, we have no assurance that the model is correct above 30 GeV, and it must be stressed that this is no pure formality. As more and more elementary particles are discovered, physicists start suspecting that the particles that we call elementary today (quarks and leptons) may turn out to be composite tomorrow. And in particular this may be true for the above mentioned objects, the vector bosons and the Higgs particle.
