Quick question. If particles that mediate interactions are called gauge bosons, why isn't Pion considered a gauge boson. I'm pretty sure I've come across a few interactions mediated by it.
trv said:Just realized that the pion is a meson. So I assume now that the two aren't mutually exclusive. I.e. a meson can also be a boson, or at least a goldstone boson.
kuon said:If I remember correctly, pions are the pseudo-goldstone bosons when chiral symmetry is broken.
Bob_for_short said:I am sure I do not remember it correctly, but it seemed to me that pions were the gauge bosons of the isotopic symmetry group (Yang-Mills fields).

Gauge bosons are force-carrying particles that mediate the fundamental forces of nature, such as the electromagnetic force, strong nuclear force, and weak nuclear force. They are responsible for transmitting these forces between particles.
In the Standard Model, gauge bosons play a crucial role in explaining the fundamental interactions between particles. They are responsible for maintaining the symmetry of the theory and are essential for understanding the behavior of particles at the subatomic level.
The pion particle, also known as the pi meson, is a type of meson that is composed of a quark and an antiquark. It was the first meson to be discovered and played a crucial role in the development of the theory of strong interactions. It also has a significant role in the study of nuclear forces and the structure of atomic nuclei.
Gauge bosons and the pion particle are both fundamental particles that are described by the Standard Model of particle physics. While gauge bosons are responsible for mediating forces between particles, the pion particle is one of the particles affected by these forces. They are also both examples of bosons, which are particles with integer spin.
Yes, both gauge bosons and the pion particle have been observed in experiments using particle accelerators, such as the Large Hadron Collider. These experiments have provided valuable insights into the behavior of these particles and their interactions with other particles.
