Renormalizable gauge models of weak and electromagnetic interactions require the existence of charged intermediate vector bosons w±, heavy leptons or neutral vector bosons ZO (or both), and at least one neutral scalar: the "Higgs particle" ΦO. Although the original model of Weinberg and Salam is so constructed that MW ≥ 37 GeV and MZ ≳ 74 GeV, other reasonable models exist in which these vector boson masses can be considerably smaller. It appears very likely that these or other entirely new particles may be discovered in the mass range 20 to 100 GeV.
