alternative flavourdynamics
- rareuncountablenatural sciencesThe theory of the weak interaction in quantum physics.
Toiday it is assumed that all three types of interactions can be described by quantum field theories: the electromagnetic interaction by quantum electrodynamics, the strong one by quantum chromodynamics, and the weak one by quantum flavordynamics.
