WordDefinition
fermionnoun(particle physics, Standard Model) Any elementary or composite particle that has half-integer spin and thus obeys Fermi–Dirac statistics and the Pauli exclusion principle (equivalently, a particle for which the wavefunction of any system of identical such particles changes sign whenever two are swapped); a baryon, a lepton or a quark;
waviclenoun(quantum mechanics) A wave-particle; an entity which simultaneously has the properties of a wave and a particle.
quasielectronnoun(physics) A form of quasiparticle formed from an electron as it travels through a semiconductor.
pseudofermionnoun(physics) A form of fermion that has integer spin
waveiclenounAlternative form of wavicle. [(quantum mechanics) A wave-particle; an entity which simultaneously has the properties of a wave and a particle.]
w particlenoun(particle physics) Synonym of W-boson.
antifermionnoun(particle physics) The antiparticle of a (specified) fermion
dirac fermionnoun(physics) Any fermion that is not its own antiparticle
antisfermionnoun(physics) The antiparticle of a sfermion.
cofermionnoun(physics) A composite fermion
w-bosonnoun(particle physics) a fundamental particle, a gauge boson, that, together with the Z-boson, mediates the weak nuclear force; it has a charge of ± 1
wave-particlenoun(quantum mechanics) An entity which simultaneously has the properties of a wave and a particle.
wavefunctionnoun(physics) A mathematical function that describes the propagation of the quantum mechanical wave associated with a particle (or system of particles), related to the probability of finding the particle in a particular region of space.
dirac fieldnoun(quantum mechanics, quantum field theory) A fermionic field which consists of a 4-component spinor or a pair of 2-component Weyl spinors.
z-bosonnoun(particle physics) a fundamental particle, a gauge boson, that, together with the W-boson, mediates the weak nuclear force; it has a charge of 0
bosonnoun(particle physics) 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.
winonoun(derogatory) A chronic or heavy drinker of cheap wine or other alcohol; especially, a drunkard.
leptonnoun(particle physics) An elementary particle that has a spin of 1/2 (i.e., is a fermion) and does not interact via the strong nuclear force; examples include the electron, the muon, the neutrino and the tauon.
fermionizationnoun(physics) The theoretical treatment of a system as one of fermions.
electroweakinonoun(physics) A supersymmetric partner of the electroweak gauge boson, also referred to as a wino.
