- any particle that obeys Bose-Einstein statistics but not the Pauli exclusion principle; all nuclei with an even mass number are bosons
- In particle physics, bosons are subatomic particles that obey Bose–Einstein statistics. Several bosons can occupy the same quantum state. The word boson derives from the name of Satyendra Nath Bose.
- Bosön is a sports complex on Lidingö outside Stockholm in Sweden, and the headquarters for the Swedish Sports Confederation. Several Swedish national teams have annual training camps at Bosön.
- (Bosons) The mediators or force carriers of the weak force. These are heavy compared to the carriers of the other forces. There are three bosons that exist, W+, W- and Z0, where the superscripts correspond to the particles’ electric charge.
- (bosons) (in subatomic particle (physics): Field theory; in subatomic particle (physics): Electromagnetism )
- An arrow with a head with rounded knob with a sharp point projecting.
- A particle having spin that is an integer multiple of (h-bar).
- 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.
- category of particles that includes those with integer spin (mesons and mediators). Bosons were originally called "Bose particles." Physicist S.N. Bose set up a statistical system which these particles obey.
- a particle, or pattern of string vibration, with a whole number amount of spin; typically a messenger particle.
- any of a class of elementary particles not subject to the exclusion principle that have spins of zero or an integral number, as photons or mesons. ...
- The elementary particles are classified as bosons and fermions. Bosons have integer spin (0, 1, 2, ... in units of ). The "force particles" mediators of the fundamental interactions (gamma, W^+/-, Z^0, 8 gluons), are fundamental bosons. ...
- a particle which obeys the Bose-Einstein distribution function. Boson have integer spin. Examples include photons, phonons and composite particles have an even number of member particles. See also FERMIONS
- A class of subatomic particles that statistically behave in a way called "Bose-Einstein."
