Abstract: (Elsevier)
In models in which the weak intermediate bosons are bound states consisting of spin 1 2 constituents the effective neutral current mixing angle sin 2 θ W is related to the W wave function at the origin. Dynamical constraints for the bound state structure of the W-boson follow. Although the observed value of sin 2 θ W is rather large, it seems possible to obtain the observed value in a dynamical mixing scheme. The weak bosons are extended objects, whose sizes are of the order of 10 −16 cm.- INTERMEDIATE BOSON: MODEL
