#boson any particle that obeys Bose-Einstein statistics but not the Pauli exclusion principle; all nuclei with an even mass number are bosons
supertype: #particle a body having finite mass and internal structure but negligible dimensions
subtype: #gauge_boson__gaugeboson a particle that mediates the interaction of two elementary particles
subtype: #gluon a gauge boson that mediates strong interaction among quarks
subtype: #gravitons__graviton a gauge boson that mediates the (extremely weak) gravitational interactions between particles
subtype: #intermediate_vector_bosons a gauge boson that mediates weak interactions between particles
subtype: #photon a quantum of electromagnetic radiation; an elementary particle that is its own antiparticle
subtype: #meson__mesotron an elementary particle responsible for the forces in the atomic nucleus; a hadron with a baryon number of 0
subtype: #b-meson__bmeson exceedingly short-lived meson
subtype: #J_particle__psi_particle__psiparticle a neutral meson with a large mass
subtype: #kaon__kappa-meson__kappameson__k-meson__kmeson__K_particle an unstable meson produced as the result of a high-energy particle collision
subtype: #pion__pi-meson a meson produced as the result of high-energy particle collision
