What else can I help you with?
What is a subatomic particle known as?
They are leptons, bosons, hadrons, fermions etc.
What are the subatomic particles with no mass?
photonsgravitonsBoth are bosons, there are no massless fermions although neutrinos were once believed to be massless.
What are fermions and bosons?
I think perhaps your confused here somewhat. A fermion is a particle which obeys the Pauli exclusion principle; put simply two fermions can not be in the same state (i.e. have the same set of quantum no's) at the same time. Fermions cannot be broken down into anything smaller, fermions include quark's, electron's, muon's, tau's and neutrino's which are elementary i.e. not made of anything but energy Quarks make up all other particles. Bosons can be made of 3 quarks and are split into two catergorys: Baryons such as Protons, Neutrons and many other heavy particles these are effectively composite fermions as they contain 3 quarks. Or Mesons, which contain one quark and an anti quark and hence are not composite fermions.
Is the total wave function of identical fermions is antisymmetric?
Yes, identical fermions have antisymmetric wavefunctions. Identical bosons have symmetric -- look up Spin Statistics in any Standard Field Theory text.
Is a gluon a type of boson or is it some sort of force-carrying fermion if there is such a thing?
Yes, they are bosons. Fermions might be force carriers for supersymmetric particles if they exist but otherwise they are not.
What Is the relationship between a Higgs boson and an atom?
The Higgs boson is analogous to other bosons (photon, muon, gluon, graviton, etc.) which couple forces. Atoms are composed of fermions bound together by exchanging various virtual bosons (e.g. electrons are bound to the nucleus by exchanging virtual photons, the protons and neutrons in the nucleus are bound together by exchanging virtual muons, the quarks are bound inside protons and neutrons by exchanging virtual gluons), no real bosons of any type exist in an atom (although some atoms are themselves bosons even though they are entirely composed of fermions).
What are gauge bosons?
Gauge bosons are elementary particles (subatomic particles). An elementary particle is a substance that can not be broken down anymore. So to answer your question: Gauge bosons are the forces of what makes up nature. For example: Photon=electromagnetic force, gluon=strength, z and w bosons=weakness and gravitons=gravity (not yet observed). The different particles can be found on the Elementary particle table. I hope this partially answers your question.
Why is the weak force called as w z particles?
The W bosons are named after the weak force. The additional particle was named the "Z particle", it was the last additional particle needed by the model - the W bosons had already been named - and that it has zero electric charge.
What are some examples of bosons?
Some examples of bosons are photons (particle of light), W and Z bosons (mediate weak nuclear force), gluons (mediate strong nuclear force), and Higgs boson (associated with giving mass to particles).
What are the properties and significance of scalar bosons in particle physics?
Scalar bosons are particles with zero spin that play a crucial role in the Standard Model of particle physics. They are responsible for giving mass to other particles through the Higgs mechanism. The discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 confirmed the existence of scalar bosons and provided important insights into the fundamental forces of nature.
What are subatomic particles called?
neutrons, protons and electrons, quarks (up, down, to, bottom, strange, charm), fermions, leptons, bosons (photon, W boson, Higgs boson, gluon, graviton).
What are extremely small units of matter?
Molecules, and atoms that make up molecules. An atom is made of smaller particles called protons, electrons, and neutrons. Smaller to this are groups such as fermions, Hadrons, Bosons
