The Salam-Weinberg model is derived by gauging an internal simple supergroup SU(2/1). The theory uniquely assigns the correct SU(2)/sub L/ circle x U(1) eigenvalues for all leptons and quarks, fixes theta /sub w/ = 30/sup 0/, generates the W/sub sigma//sup +-/, Z/sub sigma//sup 0/ and A/sub sigma/ together with the Higgs-Goldstone I/sub L/ = 1/2 scalar multiplets as gauge fields, and imposes the standard spontaneous breakdown of SU(2)/sub L/ circle x U(1). The masses of intermediate bosons and fermions are directly generated by SU(2/1) university, which also fixes the Higgs field coupling.
