A Theory of Weak Interaction Based on the Possible Existence of Strong Octet Gauge Bosons and Weak Intermediate Bosons

Possible models of the weak interaction are proposed, which are based on the Sakata model and able to explain the characteristic feature of the weak interaction including the ILl II = 1/2 rule and the occurrence of both .J Sj .JQ = ± 1 phenomena in the nonleptonic and leptonic decays of the strange particles. In this theory an octet local gauge invariance combined with the SU(3) symmetry for the basic baryons of the Sakata model is assumed, which necessarily introduces the octet vector gauge bosons. The weak currents of the baryonboson system are formed in a certain relation with the octet conserved vector currents, which are constituted of baryons and octet gauge bosons. One finds an essential difference between the structures of the L1Sj.JQ=1 currents and the .JSj.JQ= -1 currents, that the latter currents (/=3/2, S= 1) must be constituted of only the octet gauge bosons. This situation seems to have an intimate connection with the selection rule at the leptonic decay of the kaon (Kl 4) reported recently. §
