Here's a start for the W'. Citations are most definitely needed. Also, does anyone know of any models besides Little Higgs that have W' bosons? HEL 02:21, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Non SU(2) W' bosons

The article as it currently stands states that

W' bosons can only arise in models with an extra SU(2) gauge group.

But the electroweak extension $SU(3)_W \times U(1)_\chi \rightarrow SU(2)_W \times U(1)_Y \rightarrow U(1)_{em}$ (the so called 331 model with $\beta=\pm 1/\sqrt{3}$ ) contains a massless photon, a pair of ordinary $W^\pm$ bosons, a Z boson and a pair of $W'^\pm$ bosons and 3 Z' bosons but no additional SU(2) factor.
