The third physical polarization of a massive vector boson. In a Higgs phase, degrees of freedom represented as would-be Goldstone modes in a gauge-fixed description reorganize into longitudinal massive-gauge-boson polarizations.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
bosons have two transverse and one longitudinal physical polarization.
The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.
pdg-rpptong-standard-modelThis is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
The degrees of freedom represented as would-be Goldstone modes are reorganized into longitudinal polarizations of massive gauge bosons; this is not literal particle consumption.
