Abstract

In the study of the properties of micro-particles in nuclear and elementary particle physics, the theory known as the Standard Model is used. According to the Standard Model, the fundamental constituents of the universe are quarks, leptons, and intermediate bosons. These elementary particles participate in four types of interactions: strong, electromagnetic, weak, and gravitational. Each interaction involves specific elementary particles and intermediate bosons that mediate the interactions. The particles participating in weak interactions are charged with what is called the weak charge – these include quarks and leptons. The mediators of weak interactions are the W± and Z massive intermediate bosons. The weak interaction is represented in a diagram using Feynman diagrams.
