I'd say that this article should be merged with Gauge boson, but, actually, it might be interesting to include cases of force carriers that are not gauge bosons (e.g. the mesons in some effective field theories of hadrons). —Matt McIrvin 03:58, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Gauge Bosons
Someone should say, in this page and the Gauge boson page, that force carrier particles are the same thing as gauge bosons, if this is correct. scienceman 01:07, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Possible merge/clean-up needed?
We seem to have four related articles with a common term:
- Force carrier (has 21 linked-to pages)
- Messenger particle (has 8 linked-to pages)
- Exchange particle (has 5 linked-to pages)
- Gauge boson (has 97 linked-to pages)
We'll have to put some thought on this matter to see what the preferred direction is? --Sadi Carnot 12:27, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
