An alternative interpretation of the Weinberg-Salam model

Abstract

A problem of mass generation in the Unified EM+W theory is discussed. Two hypothetical possibilities for the nature of Higgs field are proposed.

Talk at the conference "New Trends in High Energy Physics", Yalta, Crimea, Sept.27-Oct.4 2008; v2: added address, one formula and several misprints were corrected
