			Rubbia led the UA1 collaboration at CERN during the experiments that observed the W and Z bosons. These particles are the carriers of the weak interaction and were a central prediction of electroweak theory.

			The discovery confirmed a key part of the [[Physics:Quantum Standard Model\|Standard Model]] and the electroweak unification developed by [[Biography:Sheldon Glashow\|Sheldon Glashow]], [[Biography:Steven Weinberg\|Steven Weinberg]], and [[Biography:Abdus Salam\|Abdus Salam]].
