Boson
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-28
CORE DEFINITION
In particle physics, a boson is a subatomic particle whose spin quantum number has an integer value (0, 1, 2, ...). The class of bosons is one of the two fundamental classes of subatomic particle, the other being fermions, which have half odd-integer spin (1/2, 3/2, 5/2, ...). Every observed subatomic particle is either a boson or a fermion. Paul Dirac coined the term boson to classify the fun

Anchor fast decisions
Bosons are elementary particles with integer spin, obeying Bose-Einstein statistics, which allow multiple particles to occupy the same quantum state. They include photons, gluons, W/Z bosons, and the Higgs boson.
