Example Sentences

At the elementary level, the weak force is composed of a ‘charged current’ and a ‘neutral current’ mediated by the W± and Z0 bosons, respectively.

From Nature

The decay of the meson to two muons, shown in Fig. 1c, is forbidden at the elementary level because the Z0 cannot couple directly to quarks of different flavours, that is, there are no direct ‘flavour changing neutral currents’.

From Nature

Its discovery would verify the existence of a complex scalar field thought to give mass to three of the carriers of the electroweak force—the W+, W–, and Z0 bosons—as well as to the fundamental quarks and leptons.

From Science Magazine

The former is the number of arc degrees from the horizon to the moon's center; therefore Z0 is readily obtained by subtracting the altitude from 90°.

From Project Gutenberg

In other words, the original series may legitimately be differentiated at any interior point z0 of its circle of convergence.
