The image http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/Elementary_particle_interactions.svg appears to indicate that the neutrinos couple to photons. I am not a physicist, but I think this is untrue and should be fixed. 117.199.179.233 (talk) 11:51, 9 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Again, not a physicist, but the photon-neutrino connection seems incorrect. If it is correct, then the neutrino page needs editing. Additionally, the graph would be clearer if it were [embedded in the plane] (edges didn't cross) --208.60.35.95 (talk) 14:58, 11 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

I think you're right, I imagine the leptons were retained together for simplicity, clarifying the lack of neutrino coupling to photons would require separating the neutrinos from the other leptons.Kerzane (talk) 13:39, 3 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

The diagram is wrong

edit

The blue arc between electrons and neutrinos indicates an interaction that does not exist. The relationship is one of grouping, not interaction. Someone should fix this. I recommend placing an oval around all the leptons, linking W and Z to the oval (indicating all leptons), and an arc from photons, crossing that oval, to the charged leptons. 129.67.118.100 (talk) 16:05, 14 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
