The weak bosons and the leptons and quarks are composite particles. Their constituents are bound by a superstrong gauge force. The Standard Model is a low energy approximation, which fails above 0.5 TeV. No Higgs particle exists. The electroweak mixing is a dynamical process and fixes the scale of the superstrong force to about 0.5 TeV. At energies above 0.5 TeV many excitations of the weak bosons exist, which decay mainly into W and Z bosons. Events with many weak bosons should be observed soon with the LHC.
