Electroweak Interactions

Electroweak interactions are one of the four fundamental forces in nature, combining electromagnetic and weak nuclear forces into a single framework. They explain how particles like electrons and neutrinos interact, influencing processes like radioactive decay and electricity. The electroweak theory, developed in the 1960s, shows that at high energies, these forces unify, but they appear distinct at lower energies. This unification is key to understanding the behavior of particles in the Standard Model of physics and has been confirmed through experiments, such as those at particle colliders.
