Particle physics · gauge-theory unification model

Reference score280,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Weak and electromagnetic interactions gained a shared gauge-model architecture.

Scientific scope

Glashow's 1961 paper; Weinberg, Salam and later renormalizability proofs are excluded.

Evidence

The linked sources identify this contribution and its scope. WRS has not independently reconstructed the scientific claims. This is Glashow’s 1961 paper; Weinberg’s and Salam’s distinct broken-symmetry models and later renormalization proofs are separate.
