Hi guys,
Could someone with a better understanding of the standard model answer a question about the weak force?
In a class I'm teaching, a question in the textbook asks if photons feel the weak force. My first thought was that it's fermions that feel the weak force and therefore the answer is no.
Then I thought about electro-weak unification and it occurred to me that it might maker sense if photons were involved in weak interactions at higher energies. Is this correct, or have I got the wrong idea?
Thanks
