Bosonic quantum fieldScalar field

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Physical Lorentz-scalar particles are bosonic under the spin–statistics assumptions; auxiliary ghost scalars are not physical asymptotic particle fields.

How to interpret this relation type

The target is a member or subtype of the broader source class.
