Bosons

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 bosons don't obey the Pauli exclusion principle, many of them can occupy the same quantum state, unlike fermions. "

Parce que les bosons n'obéissent pas au principe d'exclusion de Pauli, beaucoup d'entre eux peuvent occuper le même état quantique, contrairement aux fermions.
