Boson

A particle with totally symmetric composite quantum states, which exempts them from the Pauli exclusion principle, and that hence obeys Bose-Einstein statistics. They have integer spin. Among them are many elementary particles, and some (gauge bosons) are known to carry the fundamental forces. Compare fermion.

Examples :

"Because the Higgs boson has integer spin and doesn't obey the Pauli exclusion principle, many of them can occupy the same energy state, allowing it to play a crucial role in giving other particles mass. "

Comme le boson de Higgs a un spin entier et ne respecte pas le principe d'exclusion de Pauli, beaucoup d'entre eux peuvent occuper le même état énergétique, ce qui lui permet de jouer un rôle crucial en donnant une masse aux autres particules.
