81 neutrino massless (only lefthanded component)

82 The masses of the weak bosons are predicted, once the weak angle is measured. The electron mass cannot be predicted ( the coupling constant g is unknown ).

83 electroweak theory: mass generation by ??? SSB ??? QCD: mass generation by confinement problem: mass generation

84 hypothetical Higgs boson

90 December 2011: ATLAS and CMS report signal at 125 GeV decay into Z + Z W + W, photon + photon

91 Real World 3 lepton-quark families mass

92 Real World 6 leptons – 6 quarks 2 x 3 doublets
