Exchange Particles and Force Carriers

The force carrier (or exchange ) particles are all bosons. These particles are responsible for carrying the four fundamental forces. This family includes the strong interaction carrier, the gluon the weak interaction carriers, the W and Z° the carrier of the electromagnetic force, the photon and the postulated but unobserved carrier of the gravitational force, the graviton. [Pg.24]

Define or describe the following phenomena electron capture, exchange forces, time dilation. [Pg.24]
