Abstract

Within the framework of unitary symmetry we discuss two possible versions of a weak intermediate vector boson theory corresponding to a triplet and an octet model, respectively. The former has the advantage that it affords the basis for a possible explanation of the large mass of the intermediate boson in terms of strong interactions but it also requires the use of the fullU 3 group and not simply itsSU 3 subgroup. The latter can be accomodated within the existingSU 3 octet scheme. Both versions lead to the same effective four-fermion interaction for normal weak processes but may be distinguished by observation of the production cross-sections and decay modes of the intermediate bosons.
