  Weak Axis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Strangeness is a quantized property that is associated with the weak force.
Hypercharge and isospin are other quantum properties associated with the weak force.
The "Weakness Axis" indicates what I call the "neutrino number" composition of the particles, minus one for the bottom cell, zero for the middle cell, and plus one for the top cell, in each group.

Do not confuse this hypercharge, related to the strong interaction, with similarly named weak hypercharge, which has an analogous role in the electroweak interaction.
Hypercharge was a concept developed in the mid-to-late 1900's, to organize groups of particles in the "subatomic zoo" and to develop ad-hoc conservation laws based on their observed transformations.
Weak hypercharge, however, remains of practical use in various theories of the electroweak interaction.

 Hypercharge and Weak Isospin
There is a close relation between weak isospin and Heisenberg's original isospin: in particular, the isospin of a nucleon is the sum of the weak isospins of the three quarks it is made of.
on this irrep, corresponding to weak isospin and hypercharge.
In Problem 1 of the previous homework you may have noticed that for leptons and quarks, the average of the hypercharge of the right-handed ones is equal to the hypercharge of the left-handed one.

 Weak interaction
In the case of weak interaction the only way to solve the short-distance problem, is then to introduce intermediary bosons.
A weak interaction theory involving intermediate vector bosons also supplies an explanation for the observed universality of weak interactions.

A name for the set of quantum numbers related to isospin, hypercharge and strangeness is said to have been found on the way to lunch by Murray Gell-Mann and Harald Fritzsch when they passed a Baskin-Robbins advertising 31 flavours.
Weak isospin and weak hypercharge are gauged in the Standard Model.
Hadrons inherit their flavour quantum number from their valence quarks: this is the basis of the classification in the quark model.

 Quark
With the proof of asymptotic freedom in QCD in 1973 by David Gross, Frank Wilczek and David Politzer the connection was firmly established.
The charm quark was postulated by Sheldon Glashow, Iliopoulos and Maiani in 1973 to prevent unphysical flavour changes in weak decays which would otherwise occur in the standard model.
The discovery in 1975 of the meson which came to be called the J/ψ led to the recognition that it was made of a charm quark and its antiquark.

 Electroweak Unification
The weak force is not radioactivity, it is only the cause of certain kinds of particle decay.
The photon of QED, for example is not "Pure" EM (weak hypercharge) in the particle-physics sense.
The Z and the W+/- are likewise low-energy phenomena (and not weak isospin).

 Predicted force strengths and all nuclear particle masses from a causal mechanism
The strong and weak forces are empirically known to be very short-ranged, which implies they are mediated by massive bosons unlike the photon which is said to be lacking mass although really it carries momentum and has mass in a sense.
Clearly this weak hypercharge effect is what has been missing from my naive causal model (where observed long range quark electric charge is determined merely by the strength of vacuum polarization shielding of the electric charges closely confined).
The weak hypercharge of a downquark in a meson containing 2 quarks is Y=1/3 compared to Y=-2/3 for a downquark in a baryon containing 3 quarks.

Besides, we must take into account that the electromagnetic and weak couplings are of very different intensity.
The hope for success is based on the development of the theories with an spontaneously broken gauge symmetry which will allow to obtain a renormalizable model.
Finally we include in Table 1 the usual set of physical observables together with their Standard Model predictions and their present and future experimental uncertainties.

 Joe Hucks's Thesis Abstract   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Of the four, only S(U(3)xU(2)) offers a hypercharge quantization condition which motivates the different hypercharges in a family of quarks and leptons.
The spontaneous symmetry breaking to an electrostrong U(3) is briefly discussed, and it is shown that electric charge quantization follows from weak hypercharge quantization.
Chapter 1 concludes by imposing the anomaly cancellation conditions with those of hypercharge quantization to uniquely determine the ratios of the hypercharges in a standard quark-lepton family.

 Re: Standard Model Group structure
The electron, for example, with weak hypercharge value Y = -2, correponds to the irreducible representation of U(1) given by: exp(i \theta) \mapsto exp(i -2 \theta) However, quarks possess non-integral weak hypercharge.
However, to deal with weak hypercharge, we can choose i3 as the basis vector, and we can define u(1) as u(1)_2 = {i3 r_2 : r_2 in R^1}.
The issue of non-integral weak hypercharge (and electric charge) has been addressed by Roepstorff and Vehns ('Towards a Unified Theory of Gauge and Yukawa Interaction', hep-ph/0006065), and by Rizov and Vitev ('A Note of the Gauge Group of the Electroweak Interactions', hep-ph/0009169).

Suddenly as the temperature cools it's as if the universe is permeated by a sea of honey--some particles get bogged down and stuck in it (massive) while others are barely affected at all.
Electromagnetism and the weak force are unified at high temperatures (i.e.
The masses of the force-carrying particles (W plus and mins Bosons, Z Boson, photon etc.,) are constants that can be derived from the Higgs Lagrangian and guage invariance applied to the weak hypercharge U(1) and weak isospin SU(2) groups.

For example, this would mean that chemical and radiochemical reactions would occur at the same rate as the original reaction (i.e., before the mirror transformation).
However, during the 1950's Parity violations were discovered for some examples of radioactive decay processes (processes known to involve the weak nuclear force).

 Gravity
The binding of pairs of quarks is by the weak force only (which would explain why they are so unstable, they’re only weakly bound and so more easily decay than triads which are strongly bound).  The weak force also has effects on triads of quarks.
Kepler was a crackpot/noise maker; despite his laws and discovery of elliptical orbits, he got the biggest problem wrong, believing that the earth - which William Gilbert had discovered to be a giant magnet - was kept in orbit around the sun by magnetic force.
So he was a noise generator, a crackpot.  If you drop a bag of nails, they don’t all align to the earth’s magnetism because it is so weak, but they do all fall - because gravity is relatively strong due to the immense amounts of mass involved.
