Presents an electroweak gauge theory in which spontaneous symmetry breaking supplies masses to weak force carriers while preserving the underlying gauge structure.
Sees the discovery of weak neutral currents provide major experimental support for the electroweak framework in which the Higgs mechanism operates.
Shares the Nobel Prize in Physics for electroweak unification, the theory whose massive weak bosons depend on spontaneous gauge-symmetry breaking.
