Abstract
A straightforward SU(3) × U(1) model in which there is effectively one new neutral-current parameter (denoted by ) is shown to give the canonical neutrino neutral-current predictions for all values of . For small the "low-energy" theory is essentially SU(2) × U(1) while for of the order of one it has a much richer "low-energy" gauge-boson mass spectrum. Even in the latter case, the predicted asymmetry agrees with experiment. It is interesting that the atomic-physics parity violation depends sensitively on .
