标量玻色子（英語：Scalar boson）是指自旋为0的玻色子。标量玻色子的名称起源于量子场论，指的是洛伦兹变换下特定的变换性质。 许多已知的复合粒子是标量玻色子，例如α粒子和π介子。其中，在宇称下不同的变换性质将标量介子分为标量介子和赝标介子。

The scalar field theory with higher derivatives is considered in the first order formalism. The field equation of the forth order describes scalar particles possessing two mass states. The first order ...

The invariant one-loop counter terms for a class of non-polynomial complex scalar field theories are found using the background field geodesic expansion together with heat kernel methods. These ...

Energy transition Dark matter may have been created after the Big Bang, something that could soon be tested by gravitational ...

As physicists continue their struggle to find and explain the origin of dark matter, the approximately 80% of the matter in ...

Seconds after the Big Bang, the Universe exhibited an astonishing simplicity. Observations reveal a spatially flat, radiation ...

This course provides an introduction to quantum field theory as one of the cornerstones of modern physics, and how it inevitably emerges from combining quantum mechanics with special relativity. The ...

The strength of dark energy in our universe is not optimized for forming stars, which means other universes might have a ...

Theory of mind is typically defined as the ability to understand the thoughts, beliefs, desires, and emotions of other people. This understanding allows individuals to predict how others will feel ...
