Bosons are subatomic particles which have integer spin and obey Bose-Einstein statistics. There can be more than one boson at a given point in space with the same quantum state. Bosons are the force carriers. Known bosons are the photon (light), the gluon (strong force), the neutral weak force carrier, and the charged weak force carrier.

The weak force is transmitted by.?

The weak force is transmitted by the exchange of W and Z bosons between particles. These bosons are responsible for mediating interactions that involve the weak force, such as beta decay and neutrino interactions.


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 is all of the matter in the universe made of?

quarks and leptons, held together by gluons, W+ bosons, W- bosons, photons, and gravitons


How do we explain particle classification in terms of bosons and fermions?

Bosons are particles that follow Bose-Einstein statistics, fermions are particles that follow Fermi-Dirac statistics. Another way of saying that is that fermions obey the Pauli exclusion principle and bosons do not.


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.


What are gluons made of?

point particles that are bosons, they have no internal structure.


Are Gravitons sub atomic particles?

Yes, Gravitons are hypothetical sub-atomic particles / gauge bosons. These bosons are predicted to behave similarly to photons, having zero rest mass and infinite range, their force is predominant over very large distances. Like all gauge bosons, these are the mediators of what we experience as "force".


What is a subatomic particle known as?

They are leptons, bosons, hadrons, fermions etc.


Smallest subparticle gluon meson or boson?

Gluons are force mediators, mesons are composite bosons, and bosons have an integral spin. Neither of these are the smallest particle. The smallest particles are quarks and electrons, believed to be single points.


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.


Is a boson heavier than a uranium particle?

No, bosons do not have mass in the same way as particles like uranium. Bosons are force carrier particles, like photons and W and Z bosons, which have zero rest mass. On the other hand, uranium particles, like uranium atoms, have mass due to the protons, neutrons, and electrons they consist of.


What are the subatomic particles with no mass?

photonsgravitonsBoth are bosons, there are no massless fermions although neutrinos were once believed to be massless.
