Electroweak Parameters from Yang-Mills ThermodynamicsRalf Hofmann1 and •Janning Meinert1,21ITP Universität Heidelberg, Philosophenweg 16, 69120 Heidelberg, Germany — 2Bergische Universität Wuppertal, Gaußstraße 20, 42119 Wuppertal, Germany

Based on the thermal phase structure of pure SU(2) quantum Yang-Mills theory, we describe the electron at rest as an extended particle, a so-called blob. Utilizing a mirror-charge construction, we compute the mixing angle θW for the bulk thermodynamics and the charge of the blob as seen by a soft external probe field. It is shown that the blob does not exhibit an electric dipole or quadrupole moment. Within this model, we calculate the Weinberg angle to be θW∼ 30 and the fine-structure constant to be α−1∼ 134, which is close to the experimental values. The ratio of blob radius r0 and the reduced Compton radius rc is computed from a quantum-thermodynamical mass formula and coincides with αexp−1. This identifies r0 with the Bohr radius a0. In this talk, I will briefly review Yang-Mills thermodynamics and sketch the calculation of the Weinberg angle within this model.
