Line 11:
The [[Standard Model]] of particle physics describes the [[electromagnetic force]] and the weak nuclear force as two different aspects of a single [[electroweak force]], the theory of which was developed around 1968 by [[Sheldon Glashow]], [[Abdus Salam]] and [[Steven Weinberg]] (more at [[W and Z bosons]]). They were awarded the [[Nobel Prize in Physics#1970s|1979 Nobel Prize in Physics]] for their work.
==Decay via the weak force==
A '''weak decay''' is the process of decomposing a heavier particle into lighter particles (plus energy) by the '''weak force'''.
A typical example is that of [[Beta decay]].
