- Let's suppose we have two bosons in two different states.
- Higgs boson
- vector boson
- W-boson
Now, first of all, why are the bosons massless?
- Now, first of all, why are the bosons massless?
- And so the Higgs boson, it's, it's a quantum particle.
- They're called the W plus, the W minus and the Z boson.
- And for the weak nuclear force, these are called the Z&W; bosons.
- It's still far too many those W&Z; bosons that cause the weak force.
- We're not talking about the Higgs boson or.
- What particles have been found besides the boson, the Higgs boson?
- Just give me some eye candy for the bosons.
Examples
-
Meanwhile, the W boson quickly turns into an electron and an antineutrino, both of which typically escape.

The other type consists of the bosons, which have integral spin such as 0 or 1 and obey Bose-Einstein statistics.
Academic text (1997) -
And the gIuons are bosons and the bosons are the elementary particles that carry the fundamental forces of nature.
-

boson = Bose (opaque) = Bose + on
Named after the scientist Bose with the particle-forming suffix '-on'; the meaning (a class of particles) is not inferable by an average learner from the proper name.
Etymology
Boson is named after the Indian scientist Bose, who showed that some tiny particles can 'share' the same quantum state without getting in each other's way. That's why a boson, like a photon, is a particle that many identical particles can occupy the same place or state at once.
