This paper presents a critical historical review of the two main approaches to providing an understanding of the nature of the weak nuclear force via the Standard Model and the Generation Model of particle physics. The Standard Model is generally considered to be incomplete in the sense that it provides little understanding of several empirical observations: the Generation Model was developed to overcome several dubious assumptions made during the development of the Standard Model. This paper indicates that the Generation Model provides a more consistent understanding of the weak nuclear force than the earlier Standard Model.

弱核力量

本文对通过粒子物理学的标准模型和生成模型提供对弱核力性质的理解的两种主要方法进行了批判性的历史回顾。标准模型通常被认为是不完整的，因为它几乎不能理解几个经验观察：生成模型的开发是为了克服在标准模型开发过程中做出的几个可疑假设。本文表明，生成模型比早期的标准模型提供了对弱核力的更一致的理解。
