Abstract
A model that unites the intermediate boson of the weak interaction and the photon of the electromagnetic interaction into a multiplet of gauge fields is considered. Weak leptonic currents and hadronic Cabibbo currents are handled in a parallel manner and generate an SU(2) symmetry group. It is suggested how the -spin-triplet hypothesis emerges from such an approach. The symmetry between the weak and electromagnetic interaction is spontaneously broken resulting in a massive electron and an intermediate boson.
