Gauge Bosons

Gauge bosons are a type of elementary particle. They are bosons, which means that they are particles with 1 spin that follow Bose–Einstein statistics.

Gauge bosons are carriers of three of the four fundamental forces (Weak, Electromagnetic, Strong) in the univers. It is not known if Gravity is carried by a gauge boson or another hypothetical particle.

Types of Gauge Bosons
W boson - Weak force
Z boson - Weak force
Photon - Electromagnetic force
Gluon - Strong force
