An SU(2) gauge theory with a real adjoint scalar and a vacuum ϕ=ve3​ breaks to U(1). The Higgs mechanism gives two charged vectors mass gv, leaves one massless neutral vector, and gives the radial scalar mass 2λ​v for the quartic potential. Unlike the Standard Model electroweak interaction, this model has no additional hypercharge field and no massive neutral Z boson.
