Application of Fermion Quantum Number $F$ and Unit Electroweak Charge $F_0$ in the Electroweak Theory

Abstract

In the previous work, the traditional flavor-related additive quantum numbers were substituted by the fermion quantum number and the unit electroweak charge, which are, same as the electric charge, conserved in electromagnetic interaction, weak interaction and strong interaction. The empirical selection rules in electroweak interaction were found that they can be interpreted by conservation of the fermion quantum number. In this paper, the weak isospin and the weak hypercharge in the electroweak theory are demonstrated to be equivalent to half of the fermion quantum number and the unit electroweak charge respectively. Therefore, we can unify the traditional flavor-related additive quantum numbers and the additive quantum numbers in the electroweak theory by using only two numbers. Furthermore, we can take a new point of view on the electroweak theory by using these two numbers.
