Should't be the W-boson interacting with itself too? Thank you. --Irigi 14:52, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
- It wasn't on the original image. Our particle lectures haven't got far enough yet for me to answer the question myself! Stannered 15:43, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
- I put this question to the discussion to Standard model, if it should, would you correct the image, please? --Irigi 14:55, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
The treatment of leptons in the diagram is incorrect. In the standard model, neutrinos only interact via the weak force. But the diagram shows the neutrinos interacting with photons, which is wrong. The electron-like leptons do interact via both the weak and electromagnetic forces, but not the neutrinos. It would be more correct to show the e/μ/τ on a different node than the νe/νμ/ντ. Then the electron-like node would connect to the photon, W/Z, and Higgs, and the neutrino node would connect only to the W/Z and Higgs. Anyway -- it would be great to get a correction to the lepton interactions, since as it's shown right now it's misleading.Derek Balsam (talk) 15:40, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
