| A '''scalar boson''' is a [[boson]] whose [[spin (physics)|spin]] equals zero. ''Boson'' means that it has an integer-valued [[Spin (physics)|spin]]; the ''scalar'' fixes this value to 0.
| |
| | |
| The name "scalar boson" arises from [[quantum field theory]]. It refers to the particular transformation properties under [[Lorentz transformation]]. | |
| | |
| == Examples ==
| |
| * Various known composite particles are scalar bosons, e.g. the [[alpha particle]] and the [[pi meson]]. Among the scalar mesons, one distinguishes between the [[Scalar meson|scalar]] and [[pseudoscalar meson]]s, which refers to their transformation property under [[Parity (physics)|parity]].
| |
| | |
| * The only fundamental scalar boson in the [[standard model]] of [[elementary particle physics]] is the [[Higgs boson]], tentatively confirmed to exist on 14 March 2013 at [[Large Hadron Collider]]. This confirmation awarded a [[Nobel Prize in physics]] to [[Peter Higgs]] and [[François Englert]].

| | |
| * One very popular quantum field theory, which uses scalar bosonic fields and is introduced in many introductory books to quantum field theories<ref>

The name of the author is Figures. Bookkeeping is her day occupation now. California is where I've usually been residing and I love every day living right here. Doing ceramics is what her family members and her appreciate.
