gauge boson
force carrier, a bosonic particle that carries any of the fundamental interactions of nature, commonly called forces
photon
elementary particle, the carrier and quantum of electromagnetism
W' and Z' bosons
hypothetical gauge bosons that arise from extensions of the electroweak symmetry of the Standard Model
W or Z boson
massive gauge bosons that mediate the weak nuclear interaction
Z boson
electrically neutral elementary particle that mediate the weak interaction Z boson
W boson
charged elementary particle that mediate the weak interaction W boson
gluon
elementary particle that mediates the strong force
X and Y bosons
charged massive gauge bosons in the SU(5) Georgi–Glashow grand unified model mediating proton decay, filling out the adjoint representation of SU(5) together with the gluon, the photon and the W and Z bosons
