Vector boson
In
particle physics
, a
vector boson
is a
boson
with the
spin
equal to 1. The vector bosons regarded as
elementary particles
in the
Standard Model
are the
gauge bosons
, which are the
force carriers
of
fundamental interactions
: the
photon
of
electromagnetism
, the
W and Z bosons
of the
weak interaction
, and the
gluons
of the
strong interaction
. Some
composite particles
are vector bosons, for instance any
vector meson
(
quark
and
antiquark
). During the 1970s and '80s,
intermediate vector bosons
—vector bosons of "intermediate" mass—drew much attention in
particle physics
.
