Question
Hypothetical examples of these particles theoretically allow for proton decay in the Georgi–Glashow model. A set of 1964 papers in the Physical Review Letters predicted a mechanism for these particles describing how fundamental ones gain mass. A subclass of these particles that arises in theories exhibiting spontaneous symmetry breaking is described by Goldstone’s theorem. These particles’ wavefunctions are symmetric under exchange and follow a statistics distribution partially named for Einstein. Collections of these particles can occupy the same energy level and so do not follow the Pauli exclusion principle. The weak force is mediated by examples of these particles dubbed “W” and “Z.” For 10 points, name these particles with integer spin, which include one named for Higgs. ■END■
