It accounts for the transformation of photons into W and Z particles, because those are the gauge particles of the two forces that it seeks to unify theoretically.
The gauge group for this theory is S U 2 cross U 1 and it predicts unification at around 100 GeV, below which its symmetry is spontaneously broken by the Higgs mechanism. One of the particles that it predicted mediates neutral current interactions, while and another allows down quarks to become up quarks. It accounts for the transformation of photons into W and Z particles, because those are the gauge particles of the two forces that it seeks to unify theoretically. For ten points, name this theory proposed by Salam, Weinberg and Glashow that accounts for both the weak nuclear force and the electromagnetic force.
