Description
In models in which the weak intermediate bosons are bound states consisting of spin 1/2 constituents the effective neutral current mixing angle sin2thetaW is related to the W wave function at the origin. Dynamical constraints for the bound state structure of the W-boson follow. Although the observed value of sin2thetaW is rather large, it seems possible to obtain the observed value in a dynamical mixing scheme. The weak bosons are extended objects, whose sizes are of the order of 10-16 cm. (orig.)
