God Particle


We often call bosons as God particle;
Bosons are the particles with integer spin number i.e. 0,1,2,3.Because they are the fundamental particles of matter. 
Photons γ 
These particles are responsible for electromagnetic force.
They make up electromagnetic radiation.
Photons are said to have zero mass. 
Higgs boson 
These particles are responsible for mass.
Was first theorized by Peter Higgs.
Discovered in CERN labs at Large Hydron Collider in 2012. 
Mass of Higgs boson is approx 125 GeV(1 electron volt = 1.60217657 × 10-19 joules) 
Gravitron 
This is hypothetical particle responsible for weak force, gravity. 
Gluons
Gluons are the particle responsible for the strong force.
This force exists between the Quarks.
These cause strong nuclear force.
W and Z bosons
W  and  Z  bosons are weak action bosons.
W bosons have positive or negative charge at time of action with electrons or positrons .
While Z boson remains neutral .
Behavior of bosons cans be explained with the help of Feyman Diagrams.
