As the carriers of the weak force, the W and Z bosons are central to the Standard Model of particle physics. Though ...

The ATLAS collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider observed the rare production of a Z boson alongside two other vector bosons (VVZ) with a statistical significance of 6.4 standard deviations.

These four fundamental forces exist between fermions (quarks and leptons). They arise from the exchange of bosons. Bosons are the 'force carrying' or 'force-mediating' particles. If a fermion ...
