Abstract: (Elsevier)

It is emphasized that the successful relation M W = M Z cos θ W does not mean that we have determined the SU(2) x U(1) transformation property of the Higgs sector. A simple modification of the Higgs sector leads to a wealth of exotic lepton number violating processes such as ν μ e − → ν e μ − and to neutrino Majorana masses.
