Electroweak theta angle
= Electroweak theta angle
{title2=$\theta_{\rm EW}$}
The electroweak theta angle multiplies the $SU(2)_L$ topological density. In the renormalizable Standard Model it is unphysical because an anomalous baryon-plus-lepton rephasing shifts it, but explicit baryon-plus-lepton violation can make an invariant combination observable.
