What force or field is associated with the weak hypercharge?
A clip from wikipedia:
Weak hypercharge is the generator of the U(1) component of the electroweak gauge group, SU(2)×U(1) and its associated quantum field B mixes with the W3 electroweak quantum field ...

Does electroweak theory have mass gap (not just Higgs mechanism)?
A Higgsed non-Abelian gauge theory has two would-be scales, a spontaneous symmetry breaking scale, and a confinement scale determined by the running of the coupling, analogous to $\Lambda_{QCD}$. ...
