Why this reference is included
Glashow’s 1961 Partial-Symmetries of Weak Interactions, published in Nuclear Physics, is one of the program’s working technical references. Cited across Book IV (Categorical Microcosm), Part 3, Chapter The Weak Force and Chirality; Book IV (Categorical Microcosm), Part 3, Chapter Weak Holonomy and the W/Z Bosons — the central framing is “Glashow (1961) proposed SU(2)×U(1) unification; Weinberg (1967) and Salam (1968) added the Higgs mechanism”.

The modern electroweak theory of Glashow, Weinberg, and Salam replaced this with SU(2)_L×U(1)_Y gauge symmetry, spontaneously broken by the Higgs mechanism
