A model of leptons
S Weinberg - Physical review letters, 1967 - APS
The condition that p, have zero vacuum expec-tation value to allorders of perturbation theory
tells us that A.'—= M,'/2h, and therefore the field p, has mass M, while p, and p have mass …

Conceptual foundations of the unified theory of weak and electromagnetic interactions
S Weinberg - Reviews of Modern Physics, 1980 - APS
Our job in physics is to see things simply, to understand a great many complicated phenomena
in a unified way, in terms of a few simple principles. At times, our efforts are illuminated …

New approach to the renormalization group
S Weinberg - Physical Review D, 1973 - APS
A new set of renormalization-group equations is presented. These equations are based on
a renormalization procedure in which counterterms are calculated for zero unrenormalized …

What accounts for the variation in retirement wealth among US households?
BD Bernheim, J Skinner, S Weinberg - American Economic Review, 2001 - aeaweb.org
Even among households with similar socioeconomic characteristics, saving and wealth vary
considerably. Life-cycle models attribute this variation to differences in time preference rates…
