Strongly coupled standard model

Abstract

We analyze an alternative formulation of the standard model in which the SU(2) gauge interaction becomes confining at energies of order $G_F$ ${\mathrm{}}^{\mathrm{-}1/2}$≃300 GeV. We show that, making reasonable dynamical assumptions, this model accounts for all electroweak phenomena up to and including the W and Z mass scales. At yet higher energies the model predicts a wealth of new phenomena.
