Summary We study the dynamics and some phenomenological implications of the spin-zero partners of the W-bosons, which can couple to fermion pairsà la Higgs ( $$\bar \pi $$ ) or in an universal way (U, X). A light hyperpion $$\bar \pi $$ decouples in low-energy weak-interaction physics in contrast to the pion in hadronic interactions. The best signal for the $$\bar \pi $$ is its copious pair production in W or Z decays with a width of the order of 0.25 GeV. A 50 GeV mass of these bosons can be explained with a relatively light value of the preon « current » mass. A strong coupling for the Z-X-γ vertex and a weak one for the Z-e+-e− are dynamically consistent. A present rate of Z into γe+e− would correspond to a X total width of the order of 0.24 GeV.
