Talk:W' boson

Here's a start for the W'. Citations are most definitely needed. Also, does anyone know of any models besides Little Higgs that have W' bosons? HEL 02:21, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Non SU(2) W' bosons

The article as it currently stands states that

W' bosons can only arise in models with an extra SU(2) gauge group.

But the electroweak extension $SU(3)_{W}\times U(1)_{\chi }\rightarrow SU(2)_{W}\times U(1)_{Y}\rightarrow U(1)_{em}$ (the so called 331 model with $\beta =\pm 1/{\sqrt {3}}$) contains a massless photon, a pair of ordinary $W^{\pm }$ bosons, a Z boson and a pair of $W'^{\pm }$ bosons and 3 Z' bosons but no additional SU(2) factor.

Merge proposal

This article should be merged with Z' boson article into W' and Z' bosons article, like W and Z bosons. --83.131.30.119 13:49, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Correct formatting

I'm changing this and Z' boson to use prime marks (instead of apostrophes) and to put the particle name in italics. This is in accordance with the vast majority of published articles on this subject.

Here is a bunch of randomly selected articles. Most style it as I have.
