High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In particle physics, a vector boson is a boson with the spin quantum number equal to 1. The vector bosons considered to be elementary particles are the gauge bosons or, the force carriers of fundamental interactions: the photon of electromagnetism, the W and Z bosons of the weak interaction, and the gluon of the strong interaction. There also exist composite particles that are vector bosons, such as the vector mesons, made of a quark and antiquark. For some time, through the 1970s and '80s, intermediate vector bosons, vector bosons of "intermediate" mass, was a major topic in high energy physics.
