The "W" Particle and the Weak Force Mechanism

Abstract

A transformation mechanism is proposed for the "W" weak force IVB particle. The W is a dense "metric" boson which catalyzes transformations by combining reactants with virtual particle-antiparticle pairs created from the virtual vacuum particle-antiparticle "sea". "W" and "Z" IVB mass functions to recreate the original ("Big Bang") metric energy and density (the "electroweak" force unification era or symmetric energy state) in which elementary particles were first formed and transformed, thereby maintaining the invariance of charge and other conserved parameters of elementary particles in the contemporary universe. Common weak force decays of leptons, mesons, and baryons are illustrated. A single electromagnetic transformation is also considered. A table of three IVB "families" and associated Higgs bosons is appended, illustrating the (hypothetical) higher-energy structure and cosmological role of the weak force.
