   6# Electroweak Boson Masses Derivation (P-015, P-016, C-004)
   7
   8The W and Z bosons are the carriers of the weak nuclear force. Their masses
   9are derived from the Higgs mechanism and are related through the weak mixing
  10angle θW (Weinberg angle).
  11
  12## RS Mechanism
  13
  141. **Electroweak Symmetry Breaking**: The Higgs field acquires a VEV (vacuum
  15   expectation value) v ≈ 246 GeV, breaking SU(2)_L × U(1)_Y → U(1)_EM.
  16   In RS, this corresponds to the J-cost minimum.
  17
  182. **Weak Mixing Angle**: The angle θW relates the electromagnetic and weak
  19   couplings. sin²θW ≈ 0.231 experimentally. In RS, this emerges from the
  20   geometric structure of the gauge group embedding.
  21
  223. **Mass Relation**: m_Z = m_W / cos(θW), which follows from the gauge
  23   structure. The W/Z mass ratio tests the electroweak sector.
  24
  254. **φ-Ladder Placement**: The VEV v ≈ 246 GeV appears at a specific rung
  26   on the φ-ladder, determining the electroweak scale.
  27
  28## Predictions
  29
  30- m_W ≈ 80.38 GeV
  31- m_Z ≈ 91.19 GeV
  32- sin²θW ≈ 0.231
  33- m_W/m_Z = cos(θW) ≈ 0.882
  34- v ≈ 246 GeV (VEV)
