Abstract

In this paper, we try to construct an electroweak model which avoids using Higgs mechanism. We simultaneously introduce two sets of gauge bosons so as to keep the masses of gauge bosons $W^{\pm}$ and $Z$ non-zero without using Higgs mechanism. In order to introduce symmetry breaking, we need a vacuum potential. In a proper limit, this model will return to the standard model, except that there exists no Higgs particle and couplings between Higgs particle and fermions or gauge fields. The fundamental dynamical characteristics of this model are similar to those of the standard model.
