| 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]].

Irwin Butts is what my spouse enjoys to call me though I don't really like being called like that. One of the extremely best things in the globe for me is to do aerobics and now I'm trying to earn money with it. South Dakota is exactly where I've always been living. Supervising is my profession.
