The charged current interaction is one of the ways in which subatomic particles can interact by means of the weak force. It is mediated by the W⁺ and W⁻ bosons. The interaction is called 'charged' because the W bosons coupling to the charged currents must have electric charge. The charged current that gives the interaction its name is that of the interacting particles, in a charged combination. For example, the charged-current contribution to the νₑe⁻ → νₑe⁻ elastic scattering amplitude 𝔐CC∝Jμ⁽CC⁾(e⁻→νₑ) J⁽CC⁾μ(νₑ→e⁻) where the charged currents describing the flow of one fermion into the other are given by J⁽CC⁾µ(f→fʼ)=ūfʼγμ1/2(1-γ⁵)uf.
