A particle with totally symmetric composite quantum states, which exempts them from the Pauli exclusion principle, and that obey Bose-Einstein statistics. They have integer spin. Among them are many elementary particles, and some (gauge bosons) are known to carry the fundamental forces. Compare fermion
Particles which have integral spin angular momentum are shown to behave differently than particles with half-integral spin angular momentum Statistical mechanics can be used to describe the particles The statistical rules which express how bosons interact are called Bose-Einstein statistics The fundamental bosons which are found in nature are gauge bosons
Subatomic particle with integral spin that is governed by Bose-Einstein statistics. Bosons include mesons, nuclei of even mass number, and the particles required to embody the fields of quantum field theory. Unlike fermions, there is no limit to the number of bosons that can occupy the same quantum state, a behaviour that gives rise to the superfluidity of helium-4
A force-carrier particle Photons, gluons, W, and Z particles are allbosons Another type of boson, the Higgs, is proposed as the mechanism by whichparticles acquire mass
The general name for any particle with a spin of an integer number ( 0,1 or 2 ) of quantum units of angular momentum (named for Indian physicist S N Bose) The carrier particles of all interactions are bosons Mesons are also bosons More Information: Weak Interactions, Weak Interactions Carrier Particles, Electroweak Interactions, The Standard Model
A particle that has integer intrinsic angular momentum (spin) measured in units of h-bar (spin =0, 1, 2, ) All particles are either fermions or bosons The particles associated with all the fundamental interactions (forces) are bosons Composite particles with even numbers of fermion constituents (quarks) are also bosons
A particle whose spin is an integral number of units of angular momentum (Plank's constant/2pi) Examples are the hypothesised Higgs Boson (with spin 0), the W and Z bosons (with spin 1) and the photon (spin 1)
Any of the three fundamental particles (the two W-bosons and the Z-boson) that transmit the weak nuclear force and have a mass about 100 times that of a proton
An elementary particle that has a mass approximately 160,000 times that of the electron, exists in positively and negatively charged forms, and constitutes the quantum of weak interactions in which the charges of participating particles change. Also called W particle
An elementary particle that has a mass 182,000 times that of the electron, is electrically neutral, and constitutes the quantum of weak interactions in which the charges of participating particles do not change. Also called Z particle
A particle which has been proposed as part of the mechanism by which other particles acquire mass Its own high mass (probably between 100 GeV and 1 TeV) means that it is yet to be discovered, though experiments to attempt to do so, such as the LHC, are in preparation
Any of the elementary particles that mediate one of the four fundamental forces. The particles and their corresponding forces are the photon and the electromagnetic force, the graviton and the gravitational force, the intermediate vector boson and the weak interaction, and the gluon and the strong interaction
